Speaking of sandwiches.

I got this email today from VegWeb.

Although not TNT, this sounds like a great sandwich.

Portobello Mushroom Sandwich

 

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

 

1/2 portobello mushroom

1/4 cup olive oil

1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 clove garlic (sliced)

1 handful spinach leaves

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1/2 small onion (sliced)

Salt to taste

Vegan mayonnaise (I use Vegenaise)

Grated vegan cheddar soy cheese

2 slices of bread or sandwich roll

 

Directions:

 

Prepare marinade by mixing 1/4 cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Italian

seasoning together. Slice portobello mushroom into longer easy to eat

pieces. Place in marinade and make sure all pieces of the mushroom get

covered in marinade. Set aside.

 

Heat skillet on med-high and add 1 Tablespoon olive oil, black pepper, and

garlic clove. When garlic becomes tender add onion and salt. Heat until

onions are transparent. Add spinach and cook until somewhat wilted. Add

mushrooms and leftover marinade to skillet and mix around. I also had just

a touch more olive oil. Let cook for approx. 3 minutes then stir mixture

around again. Let cook for approx. Another 3 minutes. Meanwhile, toast

bread in toaster or oven. When done toasting, place bread on skillet face

down. Press down with fork or spatula for about 30 seconds so the flavor

and seasonings in skillet get on the bread. Put bread on plate with

seasoned side face up. Spread Vegenaise on bread. Take mixture from

skillet and put on one side of the bread. Spread veggie shreds on top.

Close sandwich and enjoy!
