Roasted Portobello Sandwich Recipes

ROASTED PORTOBELLO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat in a large pan or skillet (avoid the nonstick ones if you can help it). Add the onions and turn the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring INfrequently (that's right, just relax and let 'em do their thing) until the onions are a deep golden-brown color, approximately 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. While the onions carmelize, clean the mushroom caps. On a cookie sheet, drizzle the mushrooms with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast at 400 for 8 - 10 minutes until they have reduced in size a little bit and look "roasty toasty." Slice the ciabatta rolls in half, drizzle 'em with olive oil and -lightly- toast 'em in the oven. On each roll, layer a smear, slice, or dollop of goat cheese; carmelized onions; 1 portobello cap; and a fluff of arugula. Drizzle the arugula with balsamic vinegar and top with the next slice of ciabatta. You know, like a sandwich... Because we're making sandwiches here... Don't look at me like that. I could eat these things all day.

ROASTED TENDERLOIN AND PORTOBELLO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season the portobellos with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms in a small glass baking dish. Pour the wine over the mushrooms. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Season the meat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper. In a hot saute pan, sear the tenderloin for 2 minutes on all sides. Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
• Remove the portobellos from the refrigerator and drain. In a large saute pan, heat the remaining olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the mushroom caps and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and cool.
• Slice the mushrooms 1/4-inch thick. Slice the tenderloin 1/4-inch thick. Spread both sides of the onion rolls with the aioli. To build the sandwich, place a fourth of the tenderloin on one half of each roll. Top the beef with a layer of the mushrooms and cheese. In a mixing bowl, toss the lettuce with a drizzle of the extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Pile the seasoned lettuce on top of the cheese. Top the sandwiches with the remaining halves of bread. Serve the sandwiches with the sweet potato chips.
• Combine the garlic, egg, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender and puree. Add the oil in a slow stream and continue to process until the mixture has formed a thick emulsion.
