Marinated Mushroom & Blue Cheese Burgers

Marinated Mushroom & Blue Cheese Burgers

These marinated Mushroom & Blue Cheese Burgers are an excellent option for vegetarians. They have a deep savoury flavour that is maximised by the added stilton and baby spinach. The best bit is that they’re so quick to rustle up and are a fantastic economical alternative to meat too!

Preparation Time 5 mins
Cooking Time 10 mins
Marinate Time 30 mins
Total Time 45 mins
Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 2 Portobello Mushrooms
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Granules
  • Pepper
  • 2 Brioche Buns

Toppings

  • Stilton
  • Baby Spinach
  • Mayonnaise

Method

  • In a jug, stir together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, onion granules, smoked paprika, and a generous amount of pepper (about 12 turns of a pepper mill).
  • Wash the mushrooms thoroughly, and then remove the stems. Place the mushrooms in a medium-size zip-seal sandwich bag (If you don’t have any, you can use a shallow dish, but I much prefer to use a bag), gill sides up. Pour the marinade into the gills; it will overrun, don’t worry. You need it to pool around the bottom of the mushrooms too. Let the mushrooms marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, flipping occasionally.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated portobello mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are soft and have released most of their liquid.
  • Build your marinated portobello mushroom burgers on a brioche bun with your preferred toppings. I love a small amount of mayonnaise, sliced stilton and baby spinach.
