Portobello Mushroom Burgers

For 6 burgers:
1 1/2 C. mesquite wood chips
1/3 C. olive oil
1 Tbsp. pressed or minced garlic
1 medium-sized red onion, cut into 6 slices
6 large portobello mushroom caps
6 hamburger buns, split
1 C. light mayonnaise
1/3 C. chopped fresh basil
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
6 romaine lettuce leaves
2 tomatoes, cut into 6 slices each

Soak wood chips in water at least 30 minutes; drain.
Prepare a charcoal fire on grill; scatter wood chips over hot coals.
Whisk together oil and garlic; brush on both sides of onion and mushrooms.
Grill onion and mushrooms, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 4 minutes on each
side or until tender. Grill bun halves, cut sides down, 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
Stir together mayonnaise and next 5 ingredients. Layer 6 bottom bun halves evenly with lettuce, onion, mushroom, mayonnaise mixture, and 2 tomato slices; top with remaining bun halves.

  1. The mesquite wood chips are the secret to these amazing burgers! And I always substitute sour cream for the mayo...but I don't like mayo.
