Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portabella mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 8 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Ciabatta or sandwich rolls
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Tomato slices
- 8 pieces Red onion slices
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, wrap tightly in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until soft and golden.
Step 3
While the garlic roasts, clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel and removing the stems if desired.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the mushroom caps.
Step 5
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes per side until tender and slightly charred. Set aside.
Step 6
Once the roasted garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste using a fork.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine the roasted garlic paste, 0.5 cups of mayonnaise, chopped basil leaves, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Toast the ciabatta or sandwich rolls lightly on a grill or in the oven if desired.
Step 9
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of roasted garlic basil mayo on the bottom half of each roll. Top with a grilled portabella mushroom cap, followed by a lettuce leaf, 2 slices of tomato, and 2 slices of red onion.
Step 10
Place the top half of the roll onto the sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy!
