GRILLED PORTOBELLO BURGER WITH ONION JAM

Steps:

• Put the yogurt in a paper towel-lined strainer set over a bowl, set aside to drain and thickened, about 60 minutes. Discard the watery liquid. Whisk the horseradish into the thickened yogurt.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium skillet, over medium heat. Add the onions, 1 thyme sprig, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, covered, until the onions have wilted, about 10 to 15 minutes, (give them a stir every now and then with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking). Add the red wine, and simmer over high heat until most of the wine gets absorbed into the onions. Add the honey and red wine vinegar and simmer gently until the onions get jam-like, about, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat a stove top grill pan over medium-high heat. Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Strip and add the leaves from the remaining sprig of thyme. Coat the mushroom caps all over with the flavored olive oil. Grill the mushrooms, turning as needed, until tender but not mushy about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Season with the salt and pepper.
• Sandwich the mushroom between the buns, top with some of the onion jam, some lettuce, and a dollop of the horseradish cream. Serve warm.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO PANINI

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Add the mushrooms and red peppers to a sheet tray, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Grill the portobellos for 3 minutes per side, 6 minutes total. Grill the red peppers for 5 minutes per side, 10 minutes total. Remove from the grill and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Cut two 4-inch pieces of bread, then slice in half lengthwise. Spread the Herbed Cream Cheese Spread on each piece of bread. Pile on the grilled portobellos, red peppers and arugula on 2 slices of the bread and close the sandwiches.
• Place the sandwiches on top of the hot grill pan and place a cast-iron skillet on top to press. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, and then flip and cook 3 to 4 more minutes on the remaining side. Slice on a diagonal and serve.
• Add the cream cheese, basil, chives and garlic to a bowl of a food processor and pulse until smooth and combined. Season with salt and pepper.

GRILLED PORTOBELLOS WITH HAZELNUT GREMOLATA

PORTOBELLO BREAKFAST STACKS (OR BISCUIT SANDWICHES)

Steps:

• Heat a skillet with half of the butter over medium heat.
• With a spoon, gently scrape out the dark inside of the mushrooms caps, being careful not to break the cap.
• Add the mushrooms to the skillet, and sprinkle with salt. Cook for about 10 minutes depending on the size, turning once. (I covered them for about half the cooking time to be sure they cooked through.).
• When they are tender and their juices begin to release, tansfer to a plate.
• In the same pan, cook the Canadian bacon or ham over medium-high heat for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until they are lightly browned.
• Place each slice over each of the mushroom caps.
• Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, heat the butter over medium heat.
• Wisk the eggs with the water and add the eggs to the skillet, stirring and cooking the eggs until done, about 3 or 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon 1/2 of the scrambled eggs on top of each mushroom stack.
• Spoon 1 teaspoon of pesto over each and top with some basil ribbons and 1 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese.
