Shroom Burgers Can Come In Many Delicious Varieties

By Daniel Olson


After traveling to a major city that has a lot to do and see, it is common to want to bring the local cuisine home. Even if a person managed to transport that pizza slice or chicken that can only be found in one city, sometimes it is hard to separate that little taste of heaven. For those who know their way around a kitchen, there are some ways to capture the taste of things like shroom burgers or sweet treats discovered while on vacation.

While these are normally made with a Portobello mushroom cap, the smaller white button or brown crimini may be an excellent substitute. As there are a few versions of this dish from home cooks and recipe hackers, anyone can use their own preferences for cheese and filling. Although the original version found at regional burger chains is fried in a large vat of canola oil, smaller versions can be baked in a regular oven or place on a grill.

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.

When cooking for guests, it helps to have a variety of foods handy. Yet, most people who are busy working while tending to other obligations find that getting acquainted with their kitchen is low on the list of priorities. This is common but there are some surefire ways to make restaurant style classics in little time.

Other vegetables, as well as a cheese with less fat content, can be added to the filling. Mushroom stems can be chopped, as well as cooked purple potatoes or squash. Smoked mozzarella and provolone are not only flavorful but are lower in cholesterol and calories. Another way to cut out the bad stuff would be to use yogurt instead of cheese as a filler but sprinkle a few shreds of preferred cheese on top.

Most people love cheese but cannot handle the fat content. One option would be to substitute cheddar and muenster with mozzarella or provolone, which also have fewer calories. These cheeses also have that gooey texture that is hard for many to resist.

Another good party idea that is easy is creating a healthy frozen yogurt bar. Using an empty ice cube tray, pour favorite yogurt flavors into each compartment until full. Let freeze until solid and do not remove before everyone is ready to dig in. In the meantime, different candies, fruits, or nuts can be placed inside small bowls and cups. This dessert is not only easy but healthy and no hard scrubbing of dishes in the end.
