GRILLED PORTOBELLO WITH BASIL MAYONNAISE SANDWICH
A light vegetarian sandwich with great flavor that is perfect for summer. You can use just about any type of bread but Kaiser rolls or burger buns are best. I like to serve this with grilled squash and a glass of white wine!

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl.
- Arrange the portobello mushrooms gill-side up on a tray or baking sheet. Brush the mushrooms with some of the vinegar mixture, and allow to marinate for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Place the marinated mushrooms on the preheated grill, gill-side down. Grill mushrooms until tender, brushing both sides of the mushrooms with the remaining marinade, about 4 minutes on each side.
- Mix the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and basil in a small bowl. Butter the toasted kaiser rolls, then spread with the mayonnaise mixture. Divide the mushrooms, lettuce, and tomato slices evenly to make 6 sandwiches.

BASIC GRILLED PANINI
This is a great grilled sandwich! Panini get their character or distinct look from the grill marks on the sandwich. I serve it with soup or even salad. This is the basic recipe. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms: Look for large, firm portobello mushrooms with intact gills.
- Clean the mushrooms gently: Use a damp paper towel to wipe away any dirt or debris. Avoid rinsing the mushrooms under water, as this can make them soggy.
- Marinate the mushrooms: Marinating the mushrooms in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, herbs, and spices will help to infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the mushrooms over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the mushrooms while keeping the inside tender.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking the mushrooms in batches will help to prevent them from steaming instead of searing.
- Use a variety of toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include grilled vegetables, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella cheese, and pesto.
