Portobello mushrooms are probably my favorite vegan burger. They are easy to prepare and they take on the flavor of whatever marinade you choose. You could serve these on whole-grain buns for a cookout, but for a wholesome, easy meal at home, serve them on a bed of grains with a salad.

Find this recipe and more bbq ideas in the Forks Over Knives Recipe App.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown rice syrup
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 large portobello mushrooms, stemmed

Instructions

  1. Combine the soy sauce, brown rice syrup, garlic, ginger, and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
  2. Place the mushrooms stem side up on a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms and let marinate for 1 hour.
  3. Prepare the grill.
  4. Pour the excess marinade off the mushrooms, reserving the liquid, and place the mushrooms on the grill. Grill each side for 4 minutes, brushing with the marinade every few minutes.

    Variation: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the mushrooms with barbecue sauce.

I don’t have a grill. Are there baking/broiling instructions?

What can I use to substitute for Brown Rice Syrup? (it’s not available in my small town)

Soak dried fruit in hot water or overnight in regular water. Dates are most common but any dried fruit will work. Then blend it up (you can put the soaking water according to how thin or thick you like it) and you have a paste there!

Do you scrape out the gills of the portobello mushrooms?

Do you remove the stems from the mushrooms?

Yes. The ingredient list states “stemmed”, which means to remove the stems. 🙂
