"Falling in love is like eating mushrooms: you never know if it's the real thing until it's too late."
-Bill Balance, Radio personality
The refrigerator light goes on...
It simply doesn’t get easier than this to make dinner. Put the mushroom in the oven with some barbecue sauce on it, turn, turn, serve.
I’ve had a lot of Portobello mushroom “burgers” at restaurants here and there. They’re good, and even though mushrooms are one of the pure umami flavors, there’s always seemed to be something missing. Credit to my wife for suggesting the barbecue sauce. It adds just the right touch.
If you are watching your sodium there are low-sodium barbecue sauces on the market. I have also been seeing more and more bottled sauces that are not made with high fructose corn syrup. While these do use sugar instead, it’s not a lot, and two tablespoons is only about 50 calories.
