Portobello sliders just might make Dolly proud

Dolly Parton - Gypsy, Joe, and Me





So my vegan cookout conundrum was solved when I spotted these little slider buns at the market. Grabbed some mini-bellos, vidalia onions, watercress, and tomatoes. The result was so good.

First marinate the portobellos:
couple glugs of olive oil
balsamic vinegar
handful of basil ribbons
2 cloves of chopped garlic
sea salt and fresh pepper

refrigerate for at least one hour



Grill the bellos for about 15-20 minutes depending on the heat. I also added some spring onions and asparagus to the grill.


Make a pesto aioli:
1/2 bunch of basil
2 cloves of garlic
handful of roasted pine nuts
1/2 cup of Veganaise

mix in the mini prep or blender...

Spread some sauce on the bun, top with a mini-bello, onion, watercress, and tomato. Whoo weeee!
