  Credit: Vegetarian Times Portobello mushrooms have been called the steak of the vegetarian world because of their hearty flavor and texture. A marinade made with a medium-bodied red wine makes these mushroom burgers juicy as well as meaty. And unlike other burgers, they’re even good cold.

Wine pairing:
These meaty veggie burgers need bold flavor to bring out their best, so serve them with a fruity white or full-bodied red wine.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 6 large Portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed
  • 2 cups Syrah
  • 2 small shallots, chopped (¼ cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 8 black peppercorns
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • 6 toasted whole-wheat hamburger buns
  • Vegan mayonnaise, onions, tomatoes, and arugula, for serving
DIRECTIONS:
Poke holes all over mushrooms, making sure not to break them. Place in large glass baking dish.

Combine wine, shallots, garlic, peppercorns, and thyme in small saucepan, and season with salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5 minutes. Pour wine mixture over mushrooms, and stir to coat. Cover, and marinate 2 hours.

Preheat grill or broiler. Remove mushrooms from marinade, and discard liquid. Grill mushrooms 5 minutes on each side, or until browned and juicy. Serve on buns with burger fixings. 

Recipe Details:
Serves 6

Shopping Notes:  When buying Portobello mushrooms, choose mushrooms that are smooth and brown on top with gills that look dry, not wet or sticky. And don’t throw out those stems and gills! Use them to make mushroom broth by covering with water and simmering 20-30 minutes

This burger is all about the classic ingredients — just a fresh ground beef patty, good old yellow American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion, and for the "Cadillac" touch, a little bit of hickory-smoked bacon. Eating in style doesn't always have to involve exotic ingredients.

INGREDIENTS
  • 6 1/2 ounce ground beef
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 slice yellow American cheese
  • 2 slices hickory-smoked bacon, baked*
  • 1 hamburger bun
  • 1 slice Spanish onion
  • 1 kosher dill pickle spear
  • 1 leaf lettuce (optional)
  • 3 slices tomato (optional)
DIRECTIONS Mold the ground beef gently into a ½-inch-thick hamburger patty. Do not overhandle the meat. Heat a nonstick griddle over medium-high heat until hot. Place the burger down and season generously with salt. Sear for up to 4 minutes without moving. Flip the burger and sear for another 4 minutes without moving or touching (never press a hamburger).
 
Place the cheese on top of the burger patty and let the steam from the burger patty melt the cheese. Arrange the cooked bacon slices on top and serve on a bun with the onion slice underneath and a pickle. Top with the lettuce and tomato, if desired.
