I have class Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights until 11pm and that only leaves Tuesday night that I get to cook during the week. But that also means I am exhausted on Tuesdays and have loads of homework and house work to catch up on, that is why I look quick and yummy meals for those nights. This is a great meal to throw into my rotation. It took me less that 20 minutes and was easy to make enough for just two.


Meal: Mediterranean Portobello Sandwiches and oven fries

Mediterranean Portobello Sandwiches

2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
4 portobello mushroom caps
4 sandwich buns
1/2 c. jarred roasted red peppers
1/2 c. chopped tomato
1/2 c. avacado
1/4 c. feta cheese
2 tbsp chopped Kalamata olives
1 tbsp red-wine vinegar
2 c. mixed greens

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Mash garlic and salt with the side of your knife to create a paste. Mix the paste with 1 tbsp oil in a small bowl.  Lightly brush both sides of the mushrooms.

Combine red peppers, tomato, avocado, feta, olives, vinegar, and oil in a medium bowl. Grill he mushroom caps until tender about 5 mins per side. Grill the bread to lightly toast it. Toss mixed greens with the red pepper mixture. Place mushrooms on bun and top with mixed greens.

I always forget about using portobellos as an alternative to meat. I love all your toppings too!
