Portobello Mushroom Burgers With Quick Caramelized Onions Food

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGER

Steps:

• In a large ziptop bag, combine the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Add the mushroom caps and seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Gently swish the marinade around the mushrooms, then place the bag in a shallow dish. Allow the mushrooms to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes while you prepare any desired toppings, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour. Turn the bag once or twice while the mushrooms sit so that they are coated evenly.
• Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium heat. Once hot, brush the grate lightly with oil to prevent sticking. or lightly spray the grill pan with nonstick spray.
• Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Reserve the marinade in the bag for basting. Grill the mushrooms on both sides until tender, about 10 minutes total, brushing them with the marinade several times throughout.
• When the mushrooms are in their final minute of cooking, turn two of them so that their undersides (the ones that previously had the gills and stem) are facing up. Top each with 1 slice of cheese, then stack a second mushroom on top, gill-side down, so that the cheese is in the middle. Place a second slice of cheese on top. Reduce the heat to low and cook just until the cheese is melted.
• During the last few minutes of cooking, if desired, grill sliced onions and toast the buns. To assemble, spread a thin layer of pesto on the cut sides of each bun. Place the arugula on the bottom bun, then top with a grilled portobello mushroom stack, onion, and tomato. Add the top bun. Enjoy immediately.

FRENCH ONION PORTOBELLO BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. If the skillet gets too brown, add 2 tablespoons water and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon; continue to cook until all the water has evaporated. Add 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire and stir until completely absorbed, about 1 minute more.
• Meanwhile, place the muffins or buns on the prepared baking sheet and broil until toasted and browned along the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside for serving.
• Put the mushroom caps, gill-side up, on the same baking sheet. Broil until they release their juices and soften slightly, about 6 minutes. Flip the mushrooms, brush the tops with the oil and season with the garlic salt. Broil until lightly browned and the juices have cooked off, about 6 minutes more. Top each mushroom with 1/4 cup cheese, then return to the broiler until the cheese melts, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
• While the mushrooms are broiling, stir together the mayonnaise, garlic, remaining 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire in a small bowl until smooth. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Spread on the inside of the toasted muffin or bun tops. Place 1 portobello mushroom on each muffin or bun bottom. Layer with the caramelized onions and crispy fried onions, then close the burgers and serve.

ROASTED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM CHEESEBURGERS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND PIMENTO AIOLI

Steps:

• For the burgers: In a shallow baking dish, use a whisk to combine the lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire, thyme, and garlic powder. Place mushrooms in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Turn over the mushrooms, cover again, and refrigerate at least another hour. (Mushrooms can marinate for several hours.)
• For the onions: In the meantime, make the onions. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the water, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat. Season the onions with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• For the aioli: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving time.
• To finish the burgers: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove mushrooms from marinade and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet, gill sides up. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and arrange cheese and caramelized onions on the gills of each mushroom and bake another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Place 1 mushroom on each muffin and garnish with aioli and arugula. Serve immediately.
