Recipes

I love portobello mushroom  burgers when going to a restaurant.  They have a smoky flavor.

Has anyone made them, and how do I get a smoky flavor?  I've only seen recipes and the portobello is brushed with butter and grilled.

Surely butter isn't what gives it a smoky flavor?

Anyone have smoky recipes for this?

TIA

Grill over damp hickory chips or use some liquid smoke.

Good idea, I'll try it.  Thank you!

I have had them that tasted like they were marinated in balsamic.

I marinade in olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper.  The liquid smoke addition sounds workable.

Yes!  I love mushrooms.  What you need is a product called Liquid Smoke.  Colgin brand is good and you can get it at any supermarket where the oils/seasonings are displayed.  I love that stuff and use it to make home made barbecue sauce.  A little goes a long way.  A few drops should season your mushrooms perfectly.

Also, the Liquid Smoke is Salty, so you may not need any additional salt.

Nope, I use 80/20 ground chuck for my burgers.
