Why Mushrooms?
There’s no denying, mushrooms are good for you! But there’s another reason to include them in your vegan kitchen. Mushrooms also have a meaty texture that many people go to when they first take on a vegetarian or vegan diet.
If you’ve not worked with mushrooms before, these step-by-step instructions will help you take on this sandwich with ease!
How to Make Roasted Portobello Mushroom Sandwich
Here are the steps to make this roasted portobella sandwich. Start with 5 large portobellos. Wash and dry them and remove stems. Then cut them into 6 pieces each.
Place those mushroom pieces in a large bowl. Then make the portobello marinade made of mirin, sherry, and olive oil. Toss, mushrooms in the marinade. It helps to use your hands to coat and toss the mushrooms.
Once the mushrooms are adequately covered, set aside and let marinate for about 20-30 minutes.
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add some oil and sliced onions. Cook the onions until tender and then add a little bit of coconut sugar and cook a few more minutes until the onions are caramezlied.
Make a Spicy Tangy Brown sauce by combining hoisin, tamari, vegan Worcestershire, dried ginger powder, and water in a bowl.
Add bread crumbs to the bowl of marinated portobello mushrooms and shake to coat. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Place the breaded mushrooms on the pan and then place it under the broiler for around 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and use tongs to turn the mushroom pieces. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
To assemble each portobello sandwich, spread some sauce on the bottom buns, then add several crispy Portobello cubes. Top that with caramelized onions, drizzle with more sauce, and top with cilantro sprigs.
And now for the best part of all – dig in!
