Portobello Burgers

[Spoon]

This tasty "burger" is ready to eat in 20 minutes!

Ingredients:

* 4 large portobello mushrooms
* 2 cloves garlic, sliced into very thin slivers
* 1 tsp fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp dried, optional
* 1 tsp fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried, optional
* 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
* 3 Tbsp balsamic or red wine vinegar
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat broiler or grill. Wipe mushrooms with damp cloth. Remove stems. With paring knife, make slits in tops of caps. Stuff slivers of garlic and herbs (if using) into slits.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar with salt and pepper to taste. Brush mushrooms with oil mixture. Place mushrooms, cap-side down, on pan. Broil or grill until soft and brown, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
3. Serve with lettuce and tomato on toasted whole-grain buns. You could even melt a piece of lowfat cheese on top of the mushroom, but just remember that adds calories and fat to your meal.

I have tried something similar and they're good, I used to add cheese in the bun, could be provolone or Swiss.. mm makes me hungry!

Cheese does, of course, make it SO much better (I prefer provolone on mine ), but don't forget that it does add calories and fat to your burger
