Best Portobello And Zucchini Sandwiches With Tomato Salsa Recipes

PORTABELLA AND ZUCCHINI TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine mushrooms, water, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 tablespoon oil, and salt & pepper to taste. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss the zucchini & onions with the remaining oregano & oil; season with salt & pepper.
• Roast, tossing occasionally, until veggies are browned and fork-tender, 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them - the zucchini & onions will be done sooner than the mushrooms.
• When roasting is almost finished, heat a small skillet over medium high heat and warm tortillas briefly on each side. This goes very quickly - you want them a bit browned but still nice and soft. Wrap warm tortillas in a clean kitchen towel until serving time.
• To serve, pile on the filling and toppings as you wish!

TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Combine the tomatoes with vinaigrette and spoon salsa over and around portobello mushroom sandwiches.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICHES WITH BASIL AIOLI

Steps:

• Make the basil aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, garlic, basil, and lemon juice in a small bowl and whisk to mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• For the sandwiches: Cut the stems off the portobello mushrooms flush with the mushroom caps. Using the tip of a paring knife, make tiny holes in the caps and insert the garlic slivers and rosemary leaves (if using).
• Combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl and whisk to mix. Generously brush the portobello caps and tomato slices with some of the oil and vinegar mixture and season them with salt and pepper.
• Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
• When ready to cook, place a vegetable grate on the hot grill and preheat the vegetable grate for 5 minutes.
• Arrange the portobello caps, rounded side down, and the tomato slices on the hot grate and grill, turning with a spatula, until nicely browned and soft, 3 to 6 minutes per side. Brush the vegetables once or twice as they cook with the oil and vinegar mixture.
• Spread the insides of the rolls or buns with basil aioli. Add the grilled mushrooms, the tomato slices, and the arugula, and enjoy.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO WITH BASIL MAYONNAISE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl.
• Arrange the portobello mushrooms gill-side up on a tray or baking sheet. Brush the mushrooms with some of the vinegar mixture, and allow to marinate for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the marinated mushrooms on the preheated grill, gill-side down. Grill mushrooms until tender, brushing both sides of the mushrooms with the remaining marinade, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Mix the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and basil in a small bowl. Butter the toasted kaiser rolls, then spread with the mayonnaise mixture. Divide the mushrooms, lettuce, and tomato slices evenly to make 6 sandwiches.
