Portabello Burgers

These are so flavorful and filling you won't miss the fact that you will be having a meat free meal!  For the burgers you will need:
5 large Portabello mushrooms
2 tablespoons of butter/margarine or earth balance
1/2 chopped onion
1 jar of roasted red peppers
1 tomato sliced
5 slices of Swiss or pepper jack cheese (if you are vegan, omit)
5 rolls

1)  Peel the skin off the outside of the mushroom.  Gently remove the stem. Spray the bottom of the mushroom with Pam. Chop the stem portion finely.
2.)  Heat your indoor or outdoor grill to high.
3.)  In a small fry pan, melt the butter/margarine or earth balance.  Add the onion and the mushroom stem.  Saute until the onion is translucent.  Put this mixture on top of the mushrooms.

4.)  Strain the roasted red peppers and put them on the top of the mushroom.
5.)  Spray the roll with Pam.
 6.)  Put the mushroom on the grill.  Put the tomatoes next to the mushrooms.  Put the rolls on either the top rack of the grill, or off to the side to just gently toast.
7.)  As soon as the tomatoes start to soften, put them on top of the mushroom mixture.  The mushrooms should not take any longer than 7 - 10 minutes.  During the last few minutes, top them with a slice of either the pepper jack or Swiss.  Put the mushrooms on the roll and enjoy.

See those onion rings?  Those were a delicious accident!   I will post that recipe when we get together next week!  Have a great weekend everyone!
