Ingredients

  • 4 portobello mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Bragg's Liquid Aminos (or low sodium soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 4 whole grain buns

Topping Ideas:

  • red onions
  • lettuce
  • tomato
  • avocado slices
  • jalapeno slices
  • spicy mustard

Instructions

  • Pop the stem out of each of the portobello mushrooms. I leave the gills in, but some people like to scrape them out. It's just personal preference. The stems are tough so you definitely want to remove those.
  • Place all the mushrooms, balsamic vinegar, Bragg's Liquid Aminos, and spices in a gallon storage bag and shake/rotate to cover all parts of the mushrooms with the marinade. Place the bag in the refrigerator and let marinate for at least 20 minutes. If you have time for 4-6 hours that's even better. You can marinate for up to 24 hours.
  • Place mushrooms on a grill topside down, and grill over medium high heat for 7-10 minutes (reserve the marinade from the storage bag), then flip, baste with remaining marinade, and cook for another 7-10 minutes or until the mushrooms have released most of their liquid.
  • Serve on whole grain buns with your favorite toppings!

Notes

Nutrition calculation doesn't include toppings; only mushrooms, marinade, and whole wheat bun.
