Portabella Burgers
The past few weeks of beautiful weather we have been grilling and eating healthy. A new favorite of ours is a portabella veggie burger.
First I marinaded the mushrooms in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Then I used my grill basket for my peas, asparagus and sweet onions. I grilled the veggies until tender. 
The mushrooms grill for about 4 minutes each side. I added a slice of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, salt and pepper.
Darren is always dashing in front of the camera for an appearance (usually when the lighting is juuust right!).
So juicy and delicious, you will not even miss the meat!
It is supposed to be super cold tonight, I am hoping all the lettuce and flowers I planted will survive! Hopefully, hopefully when the warm weather comes again, it will be here to stay for awhile!

Being a veggie I love these. Waiting for some good weather to give this recipe a go and sit on the balcony alfresco style. Might have to switch out the mozzarella for hollumi though.

Portabella burgers are my favorite! Especially because I love mushrooms more than any other food (besides chocolate)

What a lovely meat alternative! Can’t wait to bust out my grill and give these a whirl!

I like in Korea, where portabella mushrooms don’t exist…I know what I am going to eat upon my return to the States! Giada has a wonderful recipe too: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/mushroom-parmesan-recipe/index.html
Cheers!

I love the idea of marinating the mushrooms first! Much more flavour. I like your grill basket too!
Kenton Lewis
I have prepared a variation of this. Portobellos are great as a sandwich.
Thanks for the post and sharing.

I just posted a creamy parmesan pasta with asparagus and mushrooms – I love, love this combination of veggies! I think it’s a great idea to add asparagus to a burger :)

Great, easpecially makes sense during the fasting season!

If only I had a grill! My griddle pan works well for char-grilled asparagus – I’ll have to try it with portabellas next!

This looks delicious. I’m a fan of a good portabello burger and I love your addition of the grilled veggies. I’m going to give this a go in a couple weeks!
JohnNoto
The portibello mushrooms look yummy. I understand that mushrooms are very
high in iron and zero fat. the sauteed green beans also look great. I think the
grilling is a wonderful way for these nutritional foods.JFN

What’s not to love, portabella burgers… and Ham?… Darren is a total cutie! My nine year old does that to me too. :)

Wow, that looks so yummy. I’ve been cooking up some healthier options myself and blogging about them. I posted a portabello mushroom burger on my blog last week it’s more of a “Texas Style” Bello Burger with guac and pico de gallo and I’d love it if you check it out!

I’ve never been good with cooking portabellas, but do you leave all the gills on the shroom when you’re grilling? Can’t wait to try this!

I love Portobellos, so earthy and dense. Great texture to fool the mind. Cool article

That looks delicious! In NYC Shake Shack makes a portobello burger by stuffing it with cheese, breading it and deep frying it. Your way looks a lot less fattening :p

These look so delicious! And you photographed your recipe perfectly.

The recipe is nice, I will try it at home.
Dan Del Ferraro
Wow. Can’t wait until it’s nice out to make those on the bbq! Ah, nicely done.

These look yummy and a great alternative to meat. I was watching The Chew yesterday and I think they made a burger similar but the mushrooms acted as the bun.

I like that grill basket, it would encourage a little more creativity in our summer menus.

Really easy burger. I have been in love with asparagus lately so any recipes including this type of veggie is a must have in my blog;)

I love this- I need to reblog it bc it is so easy to make. I love asparagus. Mmmh I am hungry now….
booksandasummergirl
What a grand idea! I’ve done these before and we cooked the ’shrooms in the oven. This seems like a much better idea.
Franco
Thanks for sharing, this vegetarian appreciates it!

That’s a really cute photo of Darren! Lol. What other kinds of mushroom can replace portabello?

I like the bright colors on it :)

I’m a visual person and I really enjoyed reading your blog. Your pictures are so clear, the images help visualize how you created this delicious looking sandwich, and you gave helpful tips! kuddos =D

Looks delicious! At home my boyfriend makes something similar, portobello mushroom sandwiches on ciabatta bread. So delicious! Looking forward to trying these burgers though when we can grill again (Portland hasn’t figured out that it’s Spring yet!).

As a meatlover and a portabello lover this does sound and look good! A must try! Congrats on being FP!

These look yum! I’m a bit worried about my garden too. Hopefully everything does well in the snow this weekend.

looks so yummy.. would have wanted to try it but here in my country portabella mushrooms are so pricey.. but i think i could substitute it with other mushrooms instead.. congrats on being FP..

oh that looks so good !
mikesirishbbqblog
Portobello burgers are my fave, and you’re right one doesn’t even miss the meat. The most important part, I’ve found, is a proper bun. A burger or sambo is only as good as the bread it’s served on…
yosephvera
mmm yummy….
pinkchillies
Wow! That looks yummy. I will try it.
aladywithhiddencharm
Looks great :)

I don’t get it…if the mushroom is the burger, where is the beef? In the potatoes?
