Portobello Sandwiches
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
4 large portobello mushrooms
4 hamburger buns
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp capers
1 large tomato, sliced
4 leaves lettuce
Turn on boiler and adjust rack so it is as close as possible to the heat source.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix garlic, olive oil, thyme, vinegar, salt and pepper.
Put mushroom caps, bottom side up, in a shallow baking pan. Brush the caps with half of the garlic mixture. Put the caps under the broiler and cook for 5 minutes - be careful not to burn.
Turn caps and brush the remaining garlic mixture. Broil for another 5 minutes. Toast buns if preferred.
In small bowl, mix capers and mayonnaise. Spread mayonnaise and caper mixture on buns. Top with mushrooms, tomatoes and lettuce.
