Shroom Burgers Take Sandwiches To Another Level

By Debra King


It seems there is a new hamburger restaurant popping up in major cities every week. While many of these places have wonderful offerings and great reviews by customers and food experts, few have standout recipes that are hard to resist. One of the latest creations to come out in recent are shroom burgers.

While hamburgers made with beef, chicken, or turkey are tasty when topped with a few cooked mushrooms, it is not the same thing. The Portobello, also known as the vegetarian steak, has enough texture and flavor to stand apart with respect to its meaty cousins. This burger recipe combines many savory, spicy, and tangy flavors that are not always easy to duplicate.

The modern vegetarian entrees do something that was rarely done in the past. Having fun with plants and vegetables by adding ample amounts of seasoning, vibrant condiments, and adding complementary ingredients few people thought about in previous generations. This is why terms like flexitarian are becoming more popular, as more people are embracing the vegetarian lifestyle.

This sandwich has two ingredients that make it hard to put down after one bite. A portobello cap deep fried in panko crumb batter and filled with cheese is like a party inside the mouth. Inside this burger is also garlic, onions, and spices that place this in its own category.

The secret sauce gives it that extra kick, as this recipe is far more evolved than what some people grew up with. This tangy dill experience that has a slight kick not found in any place with a clown mascot. Anyone making this at home can experiment with condiments but the filling packs plenty of flavor by itself.

This is a nice treat for anyone who wants a change from traditional beef or poultry burgers. The portobello is subtle enough to complement the sharpness of the cheddar but hearty enough to possibly save for another meal when the full trimmings are added. Even carnivores who have not made the full conversion say the shroom has a special place in the world of hamburgers.

These days, a number of vegetarian burger recipes can be found online and other mediums. It may take some time for the person not accustomed to using a deep fryer but the road to getting it right can be kitchen fun for those who enjoy cooking. After a while, a person may come up with their own spin, or a condiment that is just as good as the special sauce. A person can even try making these with mushrooms that are smaller in size and allow for the cheesy filling.

Other vegetarian entrees that have crossed over into the mainstream include zucchini fries, butternut risotto, and pizza crust made with cauliflower. Many of these recipes have fewer calories and fat than their meat cousins but for some, the taste is out of this world. It is just a matter of adding the right kind of flavor and going from there.
