Ingredients

• 4 large portobello mushroom caps
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 0 your favorite burger condiments (e.g., mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the portobello mushroom caps by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scrape out the gills if desired.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 3

Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 4

Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and set the marinade aside.

Step 6

Cook the mushrooms on the grill or in the pan for about 5-7 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade, until tender and slightly charred.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the Schroom Burgers by placing a cooked mushroom cap on the bottom half of each burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and your choice of condiments.

Step 9

Place the top half of the bun on each burger. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Schroom Burgers!
