I love grilling vegetables! It's definitely one of the best ways to get veggies in your diet and so easy to prepare. Here's my recipe guidelines for a
grilled portobello mushroom sandwich. This was really great and very tasty, but you might want more than one to fill you up.
Purchase some nice large portobellos and remove the gills with a small spoon or butter knife. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. You can also marinate them for 15 minutes in a balsamic vinaigrette for added flavor, but I like them just plain.
Grill for approximately 5 minutes with the cap side down. Turn over and grill about 2 more minutes. I also grilled some Vidalia onions and yellow bell pepper along with it but you can use whatever veggies you like. Maybe some eggplant slices, zucchini, red bell--they're all good!
After grilling I assembled the sandwiches on preheated panini rolls cut in half. We bought some Red Pepper Spread with Eggplant and Garlic from Trader Joe's and I spread some of that on bottom of the bread. Placed the grilled shroom on top of the spread and add a little cheese (your choice). Next, put the sandwiches under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese. Now top with some arugula and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and serve with the other grilled veggies.
