Ingredients:
- 2 portabello mushrooms
- 1/2 red pepper
- olive oil
- red wine (I used port because that is what we had open... probably not the BEST choice...)
- salt
- pepper
- sliced provolone cheese
- baby spinach leaves (I just used mixed greens we had in the fridge)
- sliced tomato
- pesto
- hamburger bun (I think a Kaiser roll would have worked better)
Directions:
- Preheat your broiler.
- Wash your veggies. Make sure to cut the stem off of your mushrooms if they have not been precut!
- Place mushrooms in a broiling pan (or you can use a wire rack on a cookie sheet if you don't have a broiling pan) gill-side up. Drizzle with olive oil and red wine and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Allow them to soak for a few minutes so that they are nice and moist while cooking.
- Drizzle red pepper with olive oil and place in broiling pan with skin-side up.
- Place under broiler. Check periodically and take out when the mushroom is soft and pliant. The red pepper may scorch a little on top. This is fine.
- Toast the hamburger bun either in the oven for the last minute or use a toaster. You can melt the provolone cheese on your buns if you want - but be careful that it doesn't drip.
- When everything is done, assemble your sandwiches. Spread one side of the bun with pesto. and then layer mushroom, pepper, cheese, tomato and spinach. Done!
Cost:
Hamburger buns - $3.29
Mushrooms - $3.49
Red bell pepper - $1.64
Tomatoes - $2.72
Provolone cheese - $2.99
That totals $14.13 and I have toppings for sandwiches and salads for the rest of the week!
I already had the olive oil, red wine, pesto, and greens. We already had some french fries in the freezer, so we had those on the side. Making recipes that include things you already have saves $$$!
