The Ultimate Grilled Portobello Burger image

Grilled portobello mushroom burgers with grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers, red onion, arugula, and pesto sauce.

Yield 2 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large portobello mushroom caps
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
0 pinch of sea salt
1 small eggplant, cut into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch rounds
1 roasted red bell pepper
1/4 small red onion, sliced
1/4 cup pesto sauce
1 handful baby arugula
2 burger buns of choice, toasted
2 slices havarti cheese
1 can Bush'sĀ® Steakhouse Recipe Grillin' BeansĀ® for serving

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil and balsamic vinegar to a small blender and blend well until smooth. Wash and pat dry the portobello caps and transfer them to a sealable container (or zip-lock bag) along with the balsamic marinade. Allow the mushrooms to marinate at least 15 minutes, up to 1 hour.
  • Heat the grill to medium and brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place the portobello mushrooms and the eggplant on the hot grill and cover. Cook until grill marks appear, about 2 to 3 minutes for the eggplant and about 5 to 7 minutes for the mushrooms. Flip and continue cooking until vegetables are juicy, tender, and cooked through, about another 2 to 3 minutes for the eggplant and 5 to 7 minutes for the mushrooms. Transfer vegetables to a plate.
  • Toast two buns with havarti cheese (or your choice) and layer with a grilled portobello mushroom, a few slices of eggplant, roasted red bell pepper, red onion, and arugula. Drizzle on desired amount of pesto sauce and serve.
