Portobello Mushroom Burgers
A substantial vegetarian burger built around a whole portobello mushroom, marinated in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, thyme, and smoked paprika, then griddled until tender and topped with melted provolone. It sits on a toasted brioche bun with Dijon mayonnaise, crisp lettuce, beef tomato, and red onion — deeply savoury, with a pleasing contrast of textures throughout.
