BBQ Portobello Burger with Vegan Blue Cheese
But when I think ahead and the portobello mushrooms are irresistible at the store, we have these mushroom burgers modeled after ones we enjoyed at the Singing Bowl in Erie before they closed. We like these best when coated with just enough sauce rather than dripping, but more of a delicious carmelized bbq coating. It's simple and straight-forward so you probably don't need a recipe, but here you go!
BBQ Portobello Burgers a la the Singing Bowl
Serves 2
2 large portobello mushrooms, gills and stems removed
2 tablespoons vegan port or red wine
1 teaspoon vegan worcestershire sauce
black pepper
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup barbecue sauce of choice
1/4 cup vegan blue cheese, optional, but incredible
2 burger buns, toasted
Place the mushrooms cavity side up in an 8-inch square baking pan. Pour 1 tablespoon wine and 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce into each cavity. Add a good amount of black pepper. Let marinate 1/2 hour to 1 hour.
Be sure your grill is well-oiled. Grill over medium heat 5 to 10 minutes, until done. Turn them over once, after most of of the marinating liquid has cooked into them. Baste as needed with the sauce. Place on the bun and sprinkle with the blue cheese. If you don't like or have vegan blue cheese, a light coating of mayo is terrific on the bun.
For those of you who requested the Gigantic Cutlet recipe, it's coming!

Yum! I've had that brand of soy cheese, but I hadn't seen blue. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I can't believe I haven't made the incrediburgers yet. I'll have to try them this week. I need a good burger.
Those burgers sound SO good, Tami! But I don't know that they could beat out your Incrediburgers...Love em :-)

I've been working on burgers lately- that's a great combo, although I find that brand of blue cheese too mild to be a good imitation... but there really isn't a whole lot of alternatives out there (sigh)!
Mmm those look delicious. I will definitely have to give them a try when I next have a BBQ.
The burgers looked so good! I just love it. This is something like what I always wanted.
who doesn't love portobello burgers. seriously?
i want to try some of that blue cheese!
Hey, enjoyed browsing your blog, very interesting. I recently started my own if you would like to take a look at www.veghunter.wordpress.com
Keep up the great work!
Nice!
Grilled portobellos are one of my favourite things in the world. They go with everything!
What kind of buns do you use? I end up eating everything on Ezekial bread (I am a new vegan) because I am scared there will be something bad in the buns!
Thanks, everybody. I'm thinking these may be on the menu again this weekend since we're supposed to be in the 90's.
Karma, do you have a suggestion about a better blue cheese? I'm all ears!
Kim, homemade are best, but in a pinch I use Rudy's whole wheat buns. Congratulations on going vegan!
