Portobello en Baguette Sandwich
So, in light of the dismal drivel seeping from major media outlets today about U.S. women gradually losing the right to easily access abortions and the perennial this is the coldest winter ever recorded, I offer respite, perhaps serially if necessary.
My highlight of 2014 so far – a recipe that bubbled in my head for a homemade Portobello en Baguette Sandwich. Hey, after surviving the worst holiday season of my life, let’s just be thankful I’m thankful for something. And it is a vegan sandwich; a taste sensation which I offer a description of below.
Oh, and I’m also thankful I could listen to my portable electronic device throughout my holiday flights without having to pretend to turn it off.
Thank You.
Portobello en Baguette Sandwich
3 Fresh Portobello Mushrooms
1 Fresh Baguette
1 Large Clove of Garlic
Fresh Red Onion
Spring Salad Mix
Wasabi Paste
Mayonnaise
Thyme
Jane’s Original Mixed-Up Salt
Butter
Salt to taste
Melt 3 tbs. of butter in a saute pan with 1/2 tbs. olive oil on medium low heat. Place mushrooms cap side down in pan. Turn on oven to broil. Cut baguette into 6 inch pieces and then into halves. Butter inside of each baguette and broil for about one minute until lightly toasted. Turn mushrooms over and douse with white or red wine (perfect use of the wine leftover from the night before); add one clove of chopped garlic, 1/4 tsp. thyme and 1/4 tsp. Jane’s Mixed-Up Salt. Continuously baste mushrooms with liquid allowing garlic to sit in the segments of the mushrooms, salt to taste. Add 1tsp. wasabi paste per 1tbs. of mayonnaise to a ramekin and combine thoroughly. Spread wasabi mayo onto baguettes, top with sliced red onion, salad greens and sliced mushrooms. Place the remaining baguette halves on top. Couple it with a Vegan French Lentil Soup and prepare for cult worship.
Trying to eat more plant based, and this sandwich absolutely hit the spot! The mushrooms are perfectly seasoned.
Thanks Shani, portobello sandwiches do hit the spot!
This sandwich was more filling (in a good way) than I expected it to be. My daughter, the resident mushroom-lover, is a huge fan now!
Awww, I guess I’m not the only person that adores vegan sandwich recipes. Thanks Marta!
The portobello en baguette sandwich is a culinary masterpiece! The combination of succulent portobello mushrooms, garlic, and thyme, along with the zingy red onion and a hint of wasabi paste, creates a flavor profile that’s absolutely mouthwatering. Love it!
Thank you Krysten! This mushroom sandwich recipe is a wonderful vegan sandwich idea.
Portobello mushroom sandwiches can be underrated for meat-eaters like myself. I made this sandwich for a picnic with friends and it was a hit. The wasabi paste adds a nice touch too!
Thank you Marcus! Even though I eat meat I incorporate vegan sandwich ideas into meal plans for my health and vegan family or friends.
Love this sandwich! I used a couple different mushroom varieties and am making it again tomorrow!
Yes, baby bella mushroom recipes, lobster, oyster and shiitake mushroom recipes are all splendid dinner ideas and would work well on this sandwich. Thanks Jazz!
