Portabella Burger with Special Sauce

For 2 sandwiches, you will need:

2 large portabella mushrooms
1 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon mayo substitute
1 1/2 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1 teaspoon lime juice
garlic salt to taste
salt and pepper
olive oil
2 kaiser type rolls or buns
1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup water
earth balance margarine (a trans fat free vegan margarine)


1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees

2) In a baking dish that has a tall rim, like this one:


Stir together 2/3 cup water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, mushrooms, salt and pepper.
Bake these at 425 for 20-30 minutes (baking time will depend on size of mushrooms) Start checking them at 15 minutes. They should be soft but not burnt!

4) Cut rolls in half or use buns. Coat with melted earth balance spread. Place them on baking sheet and put in the oven with the mushrooms. Keep your eye on these, they should get slightly brown and crispy but not burnt.

5) In small bowl, add avocado. Smoosh it with a fork. Add spicy brown mustard, mayo, lime juice and garlic salt to taste. Mix up and put aside.

6) When mushrooms are done assemble your sandwich, spread avocado sauce on top the mushroom. You can garnish with tomato, lettuce, etc. if you want but I like them with just the sauce.

Enjoy!
