A Great Burger
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made the Portobello Burgers many times for vegetarians as well as meat eaters and all have enjoyed this recipe. A... couple of things ? please take a few minutes to make the wonderful roasted pepper paste because it is easy and quick to make. Also, top the mushroom with the smoked mozzarella cheese because this flavor along with the paste, spinach leaves and red onions rock this burger. I served the burgers with the suggested sides, tomato and onion salad and the Pasta Salad with Ricotta Salata and Broccolini (I used Feta cheese instead of the Ricotta Salata). This is definitely a crowd-pleasing meal ? enjoy!Read more

Loved This
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my significant other, who is an avid meat-lover. For sides, I had a three bean salad and new potato crisps. ... We both loved it. Great textures and totally satisfying.Read more

Pretty Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this last night for myself. I LOVE mushrooms and the smoked mozzerella was delicious with them. I thought the... balsamic tasted a little overpowering though. The red pepper paste is delicious if heated up before spreading on the sandwich. I would make this again but next time just brush olive oil and steak seasoning on the mushrooms.Read more

Portobello Shrooms
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The preparation was very easy. The mushrooms came out wonderfully moist and flavorful. The roasted peppper paste was a little... disappointing in taste. I would definitely do th mushrooms again but not the paste.Read more
