ingredients
-
For the basil aioli
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 garlic cloves, put through a garlic press (I mince them)
- 24 fresh basil leaves, thinly slivered (I chop them)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt
- fresh ground pepper
-
For the sandwiches
- 4 large portabella mushrooms, wiped clean with dampened paper towels
- 3 garlic cloves, cut into thin slivers
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary, stem removed and leaves reserved (optional)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 1 tomatoes, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 bunch arugula, washed and spun dry
- 4 onion rolls or 4 hamburger buns
directions
- Make the basil aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, garlic, basil, and lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk to mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- For the sandwiches: Cut the stems off the portobello mushrooms flush with the mushroom caps. Using the tip of a paring knife, make tiny holes in the caps and insert the garlic slivers and rosemary leaves (if using).
- Combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl and whisk to mix. Generously brush the portobello caps and tomato slices with some of the oil and vinegar mixture and season them with salt and pepper.
- Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
- When ready to cook, place a vegetable grate on the hot grill and preheat the vegetable grate for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the portobello caps, rounded side down, and the tomato slices on the hot grate and grill, turning with a spatula, until nicely browned and soft, 3 to 6 minutes per side. Brush the vegetables once or twice as they cook with the oil and vinegar mixture.
- Spread the insides of the rolls or buns with basil aioli. Add the grilled mushrooms, the tomato slices, and the arugula, and enjoy.

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
