The meaty texture of portobello mushrooms combined with creamy goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil makes a substantial sandwich. Marinating the mushrooms before grilling prevents them from drying out. The sandwiches can be served warm or chilled.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 6 Tbs. aged balsamic vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 shallots, minced
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 6 portobello mushrooms, about 1 1/2 lb.
total, brushed clean and stems removed - 6 round sourdough rolls, cut in half
- 1 1/2 cups crumbled goat cheese (chèvre)
- 12 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and
sliced in half - 24 fresh basil leaves
Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic, shallots, salt and pepper. Arrange the mushroom caps in a single layer in a shallow, nonreactive dish. Pour half of the marinade over the mushrooms and reserve the remainder. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, turning after 30 minutes.
Prepare a fire in a grill. Lightly oil the grill rack. When the coals are hot, remove the mushrooms from the marinade, place on the grill rack and weight with a large fry pan. Grill the mushrooms until tender and seared on both sides, about 4 minutes total.
Drizzle about 1 Tbs. of the reserved marinade on each roll half. Place a mushroom on the bottom half of each roll. Sprinkle the top half with goat cheese, then cover with sun-dried tomatoes and basil leaves. Place the halves together. Secure each sandwich with toothpicks, cut in half and wrap in aluminum foil. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

Delicious!
This recipe was flavorful, delicious, and had minimal prep. I really enjoyed it. I used an 18 year old balsamic vinegar. I also used a grill pan as the weather was not conducive to BBQing. It held up well using this method. I made the mistake of using leftover hamburger buns. Definitely use the sourdough rolls as they would be more resistant to sogginess. The flavor in this vegetarian-friendly recipe cannot be beat! We served warm.
