Portabella Burger

Make a simple, quick burger with a portabella mushroom for those busy days. Top it with fresh vegetables and it will be a perfect meal!

4 Portabella Mushrooms
4 Garlic Cloves
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Red Onion (Medium-Sized)
1/2t Oregano
1/2 Paprika
Pinch of Salt & Pepper

4 Whole-Wheat Burger Buns

Toppings:
Guacamole
Salsa
Barbeque Sauce
Siracha
Lettuce
Mustard
Ketchup

First, wash the portabella mushrooms and pull out the stems so they are flat. Chop 2 cloves of garlic very finely and rub them into the gills of the mushrooms. Now, season the mushrooms with oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Heat up a large non-stick pan and begin grilling the mushrooms. Start by placing the gills up, and grill for approximately 2 minutes. Flip them over and grill them with the gills down for another 2 minutes. Then flip again them and grill for another minute, if needed. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and place the gills down on a cloth or a paper towel to allow some of the moisture to drain off. Then, chop up the bell peppers, onion and the the other 2 garlic cloves. Sauté these veggies on low heat in a non-stick pan for approximately 10 minutes and remove from heat once the onions are golden. Toast the whole-wheat buns to your liking and begin building your burger. Place the mushrooms onto the bun, gills up, then load it up with the pepper and onions.
