Mushroom Burger
The mushroom burger is an excellent alternative to classic meat hamburgers, with the fleshy texture of the portobello mushroom making it truly filling and delicious. The balsamic-garlic marinade enhances the mushroom's natural umami flavor, while the fresh vegetables and vegan mayonnaise create a great balance. If you want a lighter but flavorful hamburger, be sure to try this recipe!

Preparation Steps
1
Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
2
Brush the mushroom caps with the marinade mixture, and let them stand for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Heat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated mushroom caps for 4-5 minutes per side, until softened and lightly caramelized.
4
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each mushroom cap and cover to allow the cheese to melt.
5
Halve the hamburger buns and lightly toast the cut sides in a dry skillet.
6
Spread a little vegan mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, then the cheese-covered grilled portobello mushroom. Top with thinly sliced tomato and red onion, and finally the top bun.
7
Serve the assembled mushroom burger immediately, accompanied by sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
