Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burgers

Ingredients

• 4 portobello mushrooms, burger-sized
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
• Splash of toasted sesame oil, if you have it
• Pinch of Aleppo pepper or cayenne
• Mozzarella slices
• Roasted red peppers (they come in a jar in your supermarket’s Italian section, or you can grill your own over the flame)
• Pesto
• Sesame seed buns

Directions

1. Mix soy sauce, vinegar, oil(s), garlic and pepper in a Ziploc bag. Marinate the mushrooms for 2 hours, occasionally shaking the bag to make sure everything gets covered by the marinade.
2. Grill mushrooms pretty much the way you would a burger, 3-4 minutes on each side. When you turn it to the second side, top each mushroom with a slice of mozzarella. Toast the buns on the grill.
3. Spread top of bun generously with pesto. Place burgers on the bun with 1 or 2 slices of fire-roasted pepper. Serve.
