Hamburger di Portobello | Portobello Mushroom Burger

Even the carnivores in your household will find that they can’t get enough of this plant-based burger that tastes just like the real thing. The meaty texture of portobello mushrooms, along with their porous nature, allows them to absorb a great deal of flavor and makes them an excellent alternative ingredient for meat-based dishes. Pair this tasty dish with a glass of excellent red wine. I suggest a 100% Cab Franc from the region of Le Marche, Le Senate Blu Velluto Spento. Pure Heaven!
