Grilled Portabella Mozzarella Burgers With Bacon And Roasted Pep Recipes

Steps:

• Add the olive oil and balsamic vinegar to a small blender and blend well until smooth. Wash and pat dry the portobello caps and transfer them to a sealable container (or zip-lock bag) along with the balsamic marinade. Allow the mushrooms to marinate at least 15 minutes, up to 1 hour.
• Heat the grill to medium and brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the portobello mushrooms and the eggplant on the hot grill and cover. Cook until grill marks appear, about 2 to 3 minutes for the eggplant and about 5 to 7 minutes for the mushrooms. Flip and continue cooking until vegetables are juicy, tender, and cooked through, about another 2 to 3 minutes for the eggplant and 5 to 7 minutes for the mushrooms. Transfer vegetables to a plate.
• Toast two buns with havarti cheese (or your choice) and layer with a grilled portobello mushroom, a few slices of eggplant, roasted red bell pepper, red onion, and arugula. Drizzle on desired amount of pesto sauce and serve.

Steps:

• Combine first 4 ingredients in the bottom of a large food storage bag. Add mushroom caps, seal bag and shake bag to coat caps, then let the mushrooms marinate for 15 minutes.
• Grill mushrooms on indoor electric grill, starting with caps down, turning to caps up, 6 minutes on each side. Pan-fry in large nonstick skillet for same amount of time. Season caps while they cook on each side with grill seasoning or a little salt and pepper. Melt the smoked cheese over mushroom caps in the last minute of grill time.
• To make the red pepper paste, combine the roasted red peppers, oil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper in food processor and pulse grind into thick sauce.
• To serve, place the grilled mushroom caps topped with melted cheese on the bun bottoms. Top with spinach and onion. Spread bun tops with roasted pepper paste. Serve with Tomato and Onion Salad and Pasta Salad with Ricotta Salata and Broccolini.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill 350 degrees F.
• In a medium sized bowl, gently toss together the tomatoes, onion, peppers, feta, vinegar, cracked black pepper, to taste, and oregano. Set aside.
• In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper, to taste. Brush the portobello caps with the oil on and put them on the grill. Grill until tender, about 3 minutes on each side
• Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the tomato mixture onto the bottom halves of the rolls, top each with some spring mix greens and a portobello cap. Cover with the top halves of the rolls and serve.

Steps:

• Brush mushrooms with 4 tablespoons vinaigrette. Grill mushrooms and onion, covered, over medium heat 3-4 minutes on each side or until tender. Top mushrooms with red peppers, onion and cheese. Grill, covered, 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Grill rolls, cut side down, 1-2 minutes or until toasted., Spread roll bottoms with mayonnaise and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Top with mushrooms; replace roll tops.

Steps:

• Wash portabella caps, place upside down on large baking tray, pour dressing and sprinkle garlic over them (does not need to be submerged in marinade). I sort of smear a bit of dressing around the other side of the portabella to coat.
• Halve and hollow out peppers, coat with some of the dressing/garlic and place alongside the portabellas. Set the tray aside.
• Cook the bacon. Simplest way is to arrange strips in baking tray and broil ~10 mins in oven (Warning: Burns easily).
• Slice mozzarella ball into thick pieces.
• Place pepper halves on grill for 5-10 mins and then add portabellas (~5-10 mins on each side), then place slices of cheese on portabellas until melted.
• Lightly toast rolls/bread/buns, and stack the portabella with melted cheese, bacon, and pepper half inside.
