For most meat lovers turned vegetarian, Portobello is a huge favorite. It makes for a meaty sandwich with no meat and is my preferred option at all burger joints. It’s juicy, delicious and easily available.

This one is my DIY Portobello sandwich that I love making. Bread, Hummus and Portobello always make a delicious, hard-to-resist meal option. It’s quite a favorite with me.

Ingredients (serves 2):

- 2 Burger buns or bread slices

- 2 Portobello mushroom caps

- 4 Lettuce leaves

- Hummus for the spread

- 1 Red Onion sliced

- 1 Tomato sliced

- Ground Black pepper

- Garlic salt (optional)

- Olive oil for taste

Directions:

1. Roast the Portobello caps in a heated pan flipping a couple of times until softened. If you want, you can grill or toast the bread meanwhile.
2. Smear the bread with lots of hummus and place the mushroom cap on it. Top it up with tomato slices, lettuce leaves and sliced onion. Sprinkle a tsp of ground black pepper. You can also add garlic salt, I leave that optional.
3. Drizzle a few drops of olive oil on top of the assembled sandwich. And voila…a delicious juicy Portobello sandwich is ready!
