To make this delicious portobello burger, you will need 4 large portobello mushrooms, 2 yellow onions sliced into thin strips, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 100 ml of ruby port or sherry, 2 tablespoons of butter, 4 ounces of blue cheese (crumbled), and 4 pretzel buns.
Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add in the onion slices and cook until they are caramelized and lightly browned (about 10 minutes). Then add in your ruby port or sherry and continue cooking until all the liquid has evaporated (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat then brush each side of your mushroom caps with olive oil. Grill each side for about 3-5 minutes or until they are tender. Set aside on a plate when finished grilling.
3. Grill your pretzel buns for about 1 minute per side or until lightly toasted on both sides. Once finished grilling spread butter on each side of your bun before topping with your grilled mushroom cap followed by crumbled blue cheese and caramelized onions. Serve warm!
