Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 Min.
Cook Time: 10 Min.
What you need:
(click + to add ingredients to your shopping list)
+ 4 portabella mushroom caps with stems removed
+ 3-1/2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
+ 2 Tbsp. olive oil
+ 2 thin slices halloumi
+ 2 thick slices tomato
+ sea salt and pepper
+ 1 handful basil leaves
What to do:
1. Heat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°). Wash mushroom caps and dry. In a shallow bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Place mushrooms gill side down in the mixture.
2. When the grill is hot, grill the mushrooms on the gill side first for about 5 min. or until they start to sweat. Flip and grill 2-3 min. more. Add halloumi to the grill and grill 2 min. on each side over relatively high heat until grill marks form on the cheese and it becomes soft and pliable. Sprinkle salt and pepper onto the tomato to taste.
3. Assemble the "burger" with the mushroom as the bun, the halloumi cheese as the burger, the lightly salted tomato and fresh basil leaves. Wrap and serve hot.
