Summary
Of my contributions this is by far my favorite “creation” for our month of healthy recipes. I had always been curious about portobello “burgers” on menus but didn’t want to order one out when there were less healthy (ie: more tempting) items on the menu. Wow. This mushroom rocks. In an effort to be healthy I didn’t serve this with any mayonnaise or spreads especially since the flavors and moistness needed no help!
