Shroom Burgers Can Come In Many Delicious Varieties

By Daniel Olson


When it comes to regional dishes, it is common to want to take something home and share with others. However, most people may not know where to start, especially if a recipe is fairly new or proprietary. For those who are naturally born cooks, cracking the food code is easy and sometimes the end result tastes better than the original. Trendy foods like buffalo wings, fried chicken sandwiches, and shroom burgers have many spins created by home cooks.

There are many burger recipes to be found online and though some people may think this is another sauteed fungi sandwich with a beef or turkey patty, they are mistaken. The star of this experience is a Portobello mushroom that has been covered with breading and panko crumbs, then fried to a golden crisp. Inside is a nice blend of onions, cheeses, and herbs.

While the original calls for a potato bun, some may use the usual white or wheat hamburger bun. Between the buns are a couple of lettuce slices, a tomato, and burger sauce. Although there are many variations to be found on cooking forums and blogs, this is a basic mixture of mayo, ketchup, mustard, and relish. Some cooks may add a sprinkle of dried herbs or squeeze of lemon juice for an extra layer of flavor.

For those who do not care much about cooking, this could be a nice project to share with other members of a family. One person can do the cutting, while the other is in charge of the cooking and preparation process. If unsure about the steps, there are likely to be online demonstration videos that can walk culinary novices through the process.

Instead of covering with panko crumbs and deep frying, a bare version that only has the cheese mixture that cooks in an oven or atop the grill can cut unwanted calories. For those that cannot resist that crunch, it may help to use panko or bread crumbs on top of filling before placing on the fire. Mixing these in a little olive oil or melted butter will enhance the flavor profile.

There was once a time when buying already prepared edibles was considered unhealthy. The ample amounts of salt used to preserve products could be dangerous to individual health if this was an ongoing habit. These days, there are many naturally processed foods that are already seasoned and low in sodium.

While some consider potato buns to be better on the nutrition scale than most white or wheat versions, this can be treated like any other burger. Instead of using a few small lettuce leaves, wrapping in several large pieces of Romaine or iceberg lettuce is a healthy start. Whole wheat flatbread or tortillas are also good for making wraps or a purse style sandwich.

When making these at home, try to have fun with it. Perhaps add a little fresh garlic or sweet onion pieces to the filling, or mix in Italian bread crumbs with the panko mixture. Sometimes flavored oil blends can give it an extra layer of flavor with hints of hot pepper, rosemary, or sage.
