Meatless Burger

This one is late because I went to the Bruce Springsteen concert on Friday night. The concert was incredibly good despite none of the rumors that were swirling around the parking lot actually happened. I heard everything from Bon Jovi appearing to Bruce playng until 1:00 a.m. So, therefore, I had to delay this week's burger until Sunday. The burger I made was not really a burger but a portabello mushroom cap. I lightly brushed the mushrooms with some vegetable oil and liberally seasoned with salt and pepper before I put them on the grill. Then I sliced some red onion into thick pieces and put them on my Italian grilling stone. I decided to use some sauteed onions and some fresh raw onion. Basically, I couldn't decide because I love using my grilling stone. It gives the onions a smokey flavor with a soft texture that is incredible. However, I also wanted some form of crunchiness in the sandwich since everything else was a soft texture. The raw onion gave it that crunch. After grilling the portabello for about 6 minutes I flipped it and covered the open end with swiss cheese and left it to melt. On the suggestion of my wife Annie I used a soft onion roll as the bread. It turned out to be a great suggestion because the onion bread was fabulous and really made for a great sandwich. Whenever I have onion bread it reminds of the rolls at Peter Luger's Steakhouse in Brooklyn. The last step was a slice of vine ripened tomato and the sandwich was complete. Another week and another success. Still looking for suggestions and still looking forward to next week.
