INGREDIENTS

4 large Portobello mushroom caps, 5 inches in diameter
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup water
1 tbsp sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ tsp cayenne pepper, optional
1 tbsp. olive oil

  • Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler.
  • Away from the heat source, lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray.
  • Position the cooking rack 4-6 inches from the heat source.
  • Grill or broil the mushrooms on medium heat, turning often, until tender, about 5 minutes on each side.

  • Using tongs, transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
  • Place each mushroom on a bun and top with 1 tomato slice, 1 onion slice and 1/2 lettuce leaf.
