Build a Better Burger
It’s time to fire up that grill again for some delicious, healthy burgers. Using Portobello mushrooms instead of ground beef is the quickest and easiest way to make a healthful burger. Portobellos are a satisfying substitute for beef because of their meaty texture and rich taste. Unlike beef burgers, they have no saturated fat and very few calories. Portobello mushrooms are just the right size for a burger roll, they grill up beautifully, and go well with any type of fixin’ you like.
Grilled Portobello Burgers
2 large Portobello mushrooms, wiped clean, stems removed
3 Tbsp. low-fat Italian bottled dressing
Canola oil spray
2 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese (about 2 oz.)
2 whole-wheat hamburger buns or 1 whole-wheat pita cut in half
1/2 jar (7 oz.) roasted red peppers, drained
Dijon mustard, if desired
Low-fat mayonnaise, if desired
Marinate the mushrooms in the dressing for 30 minutes to 2 hours in the refrigerator. Prepare the grill by spraying it lightly with oil. On medium-high heat, grill the mushrooms with the lid down for 7 to10 minutes, turning once midway through the cooking. Place one slice of cheese on top of each mushroom and allow it to melt. Remove them from the grill and place the roasted peppers and mushrooms on the buns or stuff them into a pita half. Add mustard and low-fat mayonnaise, if desired.
Optional toppings: reduced-fat cheddar cheese, grilled onion slices, lettuce, tomato slices, low-fat feta cheese, chopped walnuts, Cajun hot sauce, fresh minced herbs, sunflower seeds, guacamole, salsa, reduced-fat sour cream, sliced avocado, or chopped raw onion.
Makes 2 servings.
Preparation time: 20 minutes.
