Ingredients
- 4 large portobellos
- 4 hamburger rolls vegan brand if desired
- 2 onions
- 1 large tomato
- 2 tbsp olive oil
To marinate the portobellos
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce vegan brand if desired
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
Pesto Mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise use vegan mayo or dairy free yogurt for a vegan version
- ⅓ cup pecan nuts or walnuts or pine nuts
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves packed
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Remove portobellos stalks. Mix all the ingredients to marinate the portobellos. Using a cooking brush, toss them with the sauce on both sides. Let them marinate for 30 minutes, with the cap side down.
- Chop onions in thin slices. Place them in a large skillet with 2 tbsp of olive oil, cook them at medium heat until golden brown.
- The onions will need between 25-30 to be caramelized. Stir it regularly; otherwise, it will burn.
- Combine all ingredients for the pesto mayonnaise in a blender. Use either a stick blender or a regular blender.
- Blend all the ingredients.
- Blend until you have a smooth, creamy paste. Adjust salt to taste.
- Cook the portobellos cap side down in a heated skillet, grill or BBQ until tender. It will take 8-10 minutes.
- To make the burgers, first add pesto mayonnaise to the bread.
- Next, add caramelized onions.
- Add a juicy portobello.
- Top with a slice of tomato and cover with bread. Enjoy!
Notes
- Portobellos are my favorite choice when going to BBQs or inviting friends over. They are extremely delicious, juicy and adaptable to any kind of add-on that you can think of. Just get creative by adding different seasonings, vegetables or even some melted cheese.
