Ingredients:  
1 Portabello Mushroom, stem removed and well washed
1/2 c. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 c. Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Bun
1/2 Avocado
1 handful Alfalfa Sprouts
2 slices Tomato
Directions:
Directions:
Mix up the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and pour over stemmed mushroom. Let it marinade for an hour (or 3 if you have the time). Place on a tray and cook at about 400º for 8-10 minutes. Flip it over (carefully! spattering marinade hurts... this is experience talking, sadly), and cook for another 5-10 minutes, until it browns a little at the edges (if you're lucky enough to have a grill, I suggest using that over the oven, but I'm a City gal, and, although the fire escape is, technically, not flammable, I don't want to risk it).

Pop the mushroom out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Toast the bun lightly and layer as follows: bottom bun, avocado slices, tomato, mushroom, alfalfa sprouts, top bun.

Eat over a plate because the mushroom really soaks up the delicious marinade, and it tends to get a little messy.

Serving suggestion: I like it with fries and a tall, cold beer.

The mushroom lady at the Farmers Market in Union Square turned me on to this great substitute for veggie burgers (I like Boca Burgers, but sometimes they get a little boring). Enjoy!!
