Grilled Portabella And Bulgur Salad Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat. Brush mushroom and pepper with reserved artichoke marinade. Grill 5 min. on each side, brushing with any remaining marinade for the last few minutes. Meanwhile, grill 1 to 2 min. on each side or until lightly toast on both sides. Slide mushroom and pepper. Spread 1 toast slice with dressing; spread remaining toast slice with pesto. Fill toast slices with grilled vegetables, cheese and artichokes to make sandwich. Substitute: Substitute KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing for the reserved artichoke marinade. Make Ahead: Vegetables can be grilled ahead of time; cool, then refrigerate up to 24 hours. Reheat in microwave before using as directed.

Steps:

• Make vinaigrette:
• With motor running, drop garlic into food processor and finely chop. Add tomatoes, parsley, oil, vinegar, rosemary, red-pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and pulse until tomatoes are finely chopped but not puréed.
• Make salad:
• Peel skin from portabellas using tip of a paring knife, pulling from edge of mushroom toward center. Gently scrape off gills from mushrooms with tip of a spoon. Toss portabellas with 1/2 cup vinaigrette in a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish and let stand, turning occasionally, 20 minutes.
• Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium heat; see Grilling Procedure .
• Push 1 wooden pick into each onion wedge to secure for grilling. Toss onion wedges, bell peppers, and zucchini with oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Oil grill rack, then grill vegetables, covered, turning occasionally, until tender (6 to 8 minutes for bell peppers, 6 to 10 minutes for zucchini, 8 to 12 minutes for onion, and 12 to 15 minutes for portabellas).
• Transfer portabellas to a plate and remaining vegetables to a bowl as cooked. Cool slightly, then remove wooden picks and coarsely chop onion, bell peppers, and zucchini.
• While vegetables cook, pour boiling-hot water over bulgur with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and let stand until water is absorbed and bulgur is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a sieve if any water remains.
• Add vegetables to bulgur with pine nuts and remaining vinaigrette and toss.
• Put one fourth of arugula on each of 4 plates. Top with upside-down portabella. Pack bulgur mixture into a cup measure, then unmold on top of portabella. Top with another portabella, right side up. Serve with an avocado quarter.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl.
• Arrange the portobello mushrooms gill-side up on a tray or baking sheet. Brush the mushrooms with some of the vinegar mixture, and allow to marinate for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the marinated mushrooms on the preheated grill, gill-side down. Grill mushrooms until tender, brushing both sides of the mushrooms with the remaining marinade, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Mix the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and basil in a small bowl. Butter the toasted kaiser rolls, then spread with the mayonnaise mixture. Divide the mushrooms, lettuce, and tomato slices evenly to make 6 sandwiches.
