Prep and cook time: 20 min. Servings: 2 (1 “burger” per person)
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, sliced into thick rings
- 4 small portobello mushroom caps, stems and gills removed
- cooking spray
- 1 T. Dijon mustard
- 2 thick tomato slices
- pinch salt
- 2 lettuce leaves
- 6 slices dill pickle
Directions
- Prepare your grill.
- For security, lay onion slices flat and insert a toothpick or bamboo skewer into the center of each one to hold all of the rings together. For extra security, slide a second skewer opposite the first one.
- Spray the mushrooms and onions with cooking spray and lay them on the grill. Let them cook for about 4 min. per side. Move the vegetables to the cooler side of the grill and let them continue to cook until tender, about 5 min. more.
- Build your “burgers” by spreading the inside of the mushroom caps with a little Dijon mustard. Then top them with the grilled onions (remove the skewers first), a tomato slice (season with a pinch of salt), lettuce and pickles. Top with a second mushroom cap. Enjoy!
