Barbecued Portobello Mushroom Burger with a Glazed Pineapple Ring (Vegan)
- 1 bulb Roasted Garlic (See Note Below)
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
- 3 dashes Hickory Smoke Flavoring
- 3 dashes Hot Sauce
- 4 whole Portobello Mushrooms
- 4 whole Pineapple Rings
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 4 whole Burger Buns
- Note: To roast the garlic, cut off the top portion of a garlic bulb (the pointy end), so that the cloves are exposed.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top.
- Place bulb, cut side up, in a baking dish.
- Bake in a 400 degrees F oven for 20 minutes, remove, add more olive oil, and bake for an additional 10 minutes (or until the cloves are soft to the touch).
- Squeeze out the roasted cloves and press gently with a knife, back and forth until a paste is made.
- 1.
- For the barbecue sauce, process all ingredients (including roasted garlic paste) in a processor or blender until smooth; you can also use a whisk.
- Add additional seasonings, sugar, etc., to your liking.
- 2.
- Place mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour barbecue sauce over top.
- Rotate the mushrooms so the are completely covered.
- Let mushrooms sit in the marinade for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
- 3.
- Sprinkle both sides of the pineapple ring with brown sugar.
- Set aside (the sugar will begin to dissolve, but that is okay).
- 4.
- Heat, and lightly oil a grill (I like to use my George Foreman, so that it gets both sides at the same time).
- Grill the glazed portobello mushrooms (about 5 minutes on each side).
- Set aside to retain the moisture.
- Grill the pineapple rings until they begin to caramelize (about 4 minutes on each side).
- Place a mushroom on a toasted bun, add additional barbecue sauce, and top with a glazed pineapple ring.
- Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
