YIELD about 1 cup
INGREDIENTS
| Portobello Burgers: | |
| 1/4 cup | balsamic vinegar |
| 1/4 cup | olive oil |
| 2 tablespoons | chopped fresh basil |
| 1 tablespoon | chopped garlic |
| 4 | large fresh portobello mushrooms, wiped clean and stems removed |
| 4 | thick Vidalia onion slices |
| Salt | |
| Freshly ground black pepper | |
| 6 ounces | Gorgonzola, thinly sliced |
| 4 | large whole-wheat hamburger buns or large kaiser rolls |
| 1 bunch | watercress, rinsed and dried, stems removed |
| Lemon Aioli: | |
| 3 | cloves garlic |
| 1/2 teaspoon | salt |
| 2 | egg yolks |
| 1 tablespoon | freshly squeezed lemon juice |
| Pinch cayenne | |
| 1 cup | extra-virgin olive oil |
PREPARATION:
Portobello Burgers:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, garlic, and rosemary. Place the mushrooms in a large re-sealable plastic bag, or a baking dish, and cover with the marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
- Prepare the grill.
- Drizzle onions with olive oil and place on grill. Cook until softened and slightly charred.
- Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and pat dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper, and place gill sides-down on the grill.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then turn. Arrange the cheese on the gills of each mushroom and continue to cook until tender, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Open the rolls and lightly toast on the grill, insides down.
- Place 1 grilled mushroom inside each bun and top with grilled onions. Garnish each, to taste, with aioli.
- Divide the watercress among the 4 buns and serve immediately.
Lemon Aioli:
- While the food processor is running, drop in garlic cloves. Add the salt, eggs and lemon juice. Pulse to incorporate. Add the cayenne. Slowly drizzle in the oil, a little at a time, until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture emulsifies. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. (Use within 24 hours.)
