Portobello Mushroom Burgers

By quixoticweetzie

Any 'mushroom burger' skeptics out there?! No worries, I was one too until I sank my choppers into one of these bad boys. Followed the directions to a T and will be having these again.... and again! Serve on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and aioli sauce. Oh yeah!

Place the mushroom caps, smooth side up, in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour over the mushrooms. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or so, turning twice.
