Marinated Portobello Mushroom Burgers
Description
The recipe begins by removing the stems from large portobello mushrooms and marinating the caps with a mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, oregano, garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, and freshly cracked black pepper. This marinade imparts salty, tangy, and smoky flavors to the mushrooms.
Grilling the marinated mushrooms softens them and concentrates the flavors while releasing some moisture, resulting in a juicy, meaty texture. The mushrooms are served on buns with optional toppings such as spring mix, tomato slices, red onion rings, and mayonnaise, creating a balanced sandwich with freshness and creaminess.
The grilled mushroom burgers can be a meat-free option or a flavorful addition to any meal. The marinade and grill method bring out depth of flavor in portobello caps that hold up well on a bun.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.08
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce $0.12
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar $0.03
- 1 tsp brown sugar $0.02
- 1/4 tsp oregano $0.02
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.02
- 1/4 tsp onion powder $0.02
- 1 tsp smoked paprika $0.10
- black pepper $0.03, freshly cracked
- 2 portobello mushrooms $2.94, caps, about 1/2 lb. total
- 2 Buns $0.83
Optional Toppings
- 1 cup spring mix $0.32
- 1 tomato $0.70
- 1/4 red onion $0.07, sliced into rings
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise $0.40
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a little freshly cracked pepper (about 10 cranks of a pepper mill).
- Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms.* Place the mushrooms in a shallow dish, gill sides up. Pour some of the marinade into the gills, then flip the mushrooms and pour the rest over the top. Let the mushrooms marinate for 30 minutes, flipping occasionally.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated portobello mushrooms and cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are soft and have released most of their liquid.
- Build your marinated portobello mushroom burgers on a bun with your preferred toppings. I love the classic mix of mayonnaise, sliced tomato, onion rings, and lettuce or spring mix.
Notes
- Save mushroom stems for use in omelettes or for making vegetable stock.
- Marinate mushrooms for 30 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate.
- Cook mushrooms on medium-high grill to achieve tender texture without drying out.
- Pair burgers with classic toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo for a balanced sandwich.
