January 30, 2009, Newsletter Issue #201: Grilled Portobello Burger With Basil Mayo

Tip of the Week

Ingredients

1/4 Cup basil, fresh, chopped
3 Tbsp reduced-calorie mayonnaise
1 Tsp apple cider vinegar
1 pound portobello mushroom caps (about 4 mushrooms)
4 Olive oil cooking spray (5 one-second sprays), or enough to coat mushrooms
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
4 medium mixed-grain hamburger roll(s)
4 piece jarred roasted red peppers (water-packed), drained
4 slices red onion
4 pieces lettuce


Instructions:
Heat grill. In a small bowl, combine basil, mayonnaise and vinegar; set aside.

Lightly coat both sides of mushroom caps with cooking spray; season with salt and pepper.

Grill mushrooms over medium-hot coals, until just soft to the touch, about 6 minutes per side.

To serve, split rolls and toast on grill. Spread a heaping teaspoon of basil mixture on top and bottom halves of rolls. Layer each bottom half with one red pepper, mushroom, onion slice and lettuce leaf; top with remaining half of roll and serve.
