Directions

  • Portobello Burger
    If using the grill, preheat to high. Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill mushrooms, turning once, until grill marks can be seen, about 3-4 minutes per side. You can also cook the mushrooms in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Wasabi Aioli
    In a medium bowl, whisk together aioli and wasabi paste, leaving no lumps of wasabi paste. Keep in a sealed container, refrigerated for up to one week.
  • Edamame Hummus
    In a food processor, combine all the ingredients. Pulse to mix, then process until creamy smooth, but thick enough to dip. Add a little water, if it’s too thick. Keep in a sealed container, refrigerated, for up to one week.
  • Assembly
    Cut the bun in half. Evenly spread the bottom half with the edamame hummus and sriracha sauce and the top half with the wasabi aioli. Top the hummus with the baby spinach, then layer with the mushroom cap, avocado and fennel and the top half of the bun.
