Portobello Mushroom Burgers

While at the Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin Dells, I had the pleasure of eating this delectable portobello mushroom sandwich. I loved it so much that I had to recreate it – or at least do something similar at home. Here’s my version:

The sandwich in this picture included portobello mushrooms (of course), roasted red bell peppers, roasted zucchinis, onions, tomatoes, fresh oregano, provolone cheese, and goat cheese in an onion bun.
I actually have two ways of marinating the mushrooms, and they’re both really simple. I either marinate them with balsamic vinegar or Mama Sita (a Filipino barbecue sauce you can find in the Asian aisle of most grocery stores). I think both the balsamic vinegar and the Mama Sita should be a staple in any pantry – they’re great marinades for beef, pork, and chicken too.
The bell peppers I roasted straight on the stove until the skins were charred black. Then I just peeled off the skin. The zucchinis I roasted in the oven.
I put provolone cheese and fresh oregano because that’s what I had in the fridge. And goat cheese, well I had that in the fridge too plus I love goat cheese on steaks, so why not on beefy portobello mushrooms? :)
Onion buns – because that’s what Troy bought that night. But I would have loved to use ciabatta also – that’s my favorite I think.
Oh! And I reduced some balsamic vinegar and drizzled some on top before closing the sandwich.
There you go. Yum!
