Tante Marie’s Portobello Mushroom Sandwich

Ingredients
4 medium-sized portobello mushrooms
8 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
chopped fresh herbs such as thyme, parsley or chives
4 large good quality hamburger buns or one loaf soft white bread

Instructions
With a brush or damp cloth remove any dirt from the mushrooms. Remove the stem and save for another use. Place the mushrooms in a wide bowl and coat on all sides with the olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and the chopped fresh herbs, if available.

Preheat a broiler, or start a charcoal fire. When hot, place the mushrooms on the grill over the fire. Grill for about one minute on each side. The mushrooms should be juicy but not shrunken.

Cut the buns in half lengthwise or cut the bread to look like hamburger buns. Place the grilled mushrooms on the buns and serve warm.

Serves 4.
