Portabello Burgers
- 4 portabello mushroom caps
- 1 cucumber, sliced (thinly- 1/3 inch slices)
- 1 tomatoes, sliced thinly
- 4 wheat hamburger buns
- 3 tablespoons margarine
- 12 head lettuce
- Peel cucumber using a vegetable peeler (kitchen knife works well, too).
- Slice cucumber into 1/3-inch slices.
- Slice tomato in thin slices.
- Break lettuce leaves up in large pieces.
- Twist the stems off of the portabello caps.
- Gently rub the mushrooms with a damp paper towel.
- NOTE: DO NOT RINSE MUSHROOMS.
- Mushrooms are highly absorbant, and will absorb all of the water, therefore causing them to be tough and chewy when cooked.
- Heat large skillet on medium-high heat.
- Melt butter in skillet.
- Place mushroom caps in pan stem-side down first.
- Cook for 5 minutes.
- More butter may be needed if the skillet looks dry.
- Flip mushroom caps over and cook for 5 minutes.
- When the portabello caps are tender/soft to the touch, they'll be finished.
- Using all of the ingredients, layer your portabello cap on a hamburger bun (wheat is preferred, and vegan-friendly).
- Enjoy.
