Ingredients

• 4 large caps Fresh porcini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 0.5 Red onion
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Sliced cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the porcini mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Do not wash under running water as mushrooms absorb water easily.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the mushroom caps.

Step 3

Prepare the tomato relish: Dice the tomatoes and finely chop the red onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the diced tomatoes, white vinegar, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to the saucepan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a relish consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Grill the porcini mushroom caps for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until tender and slightly charred. If using cheese, place a slice on top of each mushroom cap during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Step 7

Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a grilled porcini mushroom cap. Top with generous spoonfuls of tomato relish. Add the top bun and serve immediately.
