Ultimate Portobello Mushroom Burger
Whoa, this was like, one of the best burgers I've ever made. EVER. Two words: "basil mayo".
Check it:
- 1 portobello mushroom, basted in balasmic, olive oil, a little garlic, salt, pepper and dried thyme, then grilled in the oven
- 1 roasted red pepper cut into thick strips (from a jar, some phenomenal red peppers I got as a Christmas gift from Cookery School / Rosalinds Kitchen - Pequillo Peppers Navarrico from Brindisa - my god they are good)
- A good scatter of pine nuts
- Homemade mayonnaise mixed with chopped basil and a little fresh garlic
- Slice tomato, raw red onion, lettuce
- One of Ottolenghi's crusty bread rolls
On the side, one of my favourite simple salads: crispy lettuce, cucumber, red onion, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh oregani (from the garden!).
Total victory.
