Yummy,healthy veg sandwich in which the large Portobello Mushroom takes the place of a patty. The simple marinade of Balsamic vinegar and garlic and onion powder gives a very clean,fresh flavor to the mushroom without overpowering it with too many flavors.
Its perfect for vegetarians and vegans alike, vegans can simply eliminate the cheese. I make this very often when our family does the whole30 detox. Of course, we dont eat it as a sandwich on the whole30 plan. I cook the marinated mushroom and place it between lettuce leaves.
Not only is it an easy meal to put together on a weeknight, it comes with a lot of nutritional benefits as well. You can read about the health benefits of mushrooms here. According to Livestrong.com the mushroom is almost considered a superfood with a plethora of benefits, you can read about them here.
Enjoy a meatless, hearty sandwich/burger which is low in calories and high on taste!
