Piquante Portobello Swisslic Burger



Ingredients: Portobello Mushrooms *2 per sandwich, Balsamic Vinegar, Soy Sauce, Liquid Smoke (Optional), Tomato, Lettuce, Red Onion, 4 Garlic Cloves, Cayenne Pepper, Garlic Salt, Hot/Mild Banana Peppers, Plain Greek Yogurt, Swiss Cheese, Mayonnaise, Pepper, Salt, Dried Thyme, Your choice of roll or bread

-Wipe gently with a paper towel the tops of mushrooms.
-Put mushrooms in large ziploc bag.
-Add a spoonful of salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
-Add 20 dashes of balsamic vinegar, 12-14 dashes of soy sauce, and only 4 dashes of liquid smoke. *these are all approximations, however, use liquid smoke sparingly!
-Close bag and shake to ensure all of the mushrooms are covered. Let sit for minimum 10 minutes and maximum for 2 hours.
-Cook on medium on stove in a spoonful of olive oil. Approximately 3 minutes per side.
-Finely chop about 2 spoonfuls of banana peppers and mince the garlic cloves.
-Combine banana peppers, minced garlic, 2 spoonfuls of plain greek yogurt, 1 spoonful of mayonnaise, 3 dashes of garlic salt, 3 dashes pepper and 5 dashes of cayenne pepper. Boom. Sauce is finished.

-To serve, we heated our fresh whole-wheat buns in the oven. Then we melted the swiss cheese on top of the mushrooms.
-Spread the Spicy Garlic Sauce on the bread. Add sliced lettuce, sliced red onion, sliced tomato an add mushrooms. Don't forget to season with a little salt and pepper - always! Voila! Delicious!

Jonathan's recommendation: The sauce is amazing and extra cheese never hurt anyone.
Mardigan's recommendation: Watch out for the sauce! Too spicy for us four-leggers.
