Vegan day 83: Open-faced portabella mushroom sandwich

Open-faced portabella mushroom sandwich


Portabella mushrooms- whole or sliced
Onions
Garlic
Tamari
Water
Potato flour to thicken (just a pinch- other flours would work too)
Olive oil
Vegenaise
Ezekiel bread (2) slices


Portabella mushrooms are on the sexier side of vegetables! They are incredible and hearty on their own, mixed with other vegetables, served on the side or even as “burgers.” I bought some the other day and was wondering how I should prepare them. I haven’t advanced yet to the portabella bun-less “stacked” veggie masterpiece that I was served in Vegas last year and that I chef friend of mine replicated- no I’m not there yet. I settled for my childhood version of an open-faced sandwich with some type of gravy!


Honestly, it was delicious and fulfilling! I sautéed the onions and garlic in some olive oil. After they had softened, I added the mushrooms, some tamari (1-2T) and a little water. It was coming along nicely but I wanted it a little thicker so I decided to add some flour- just a tiny bit!


I toasted 2 pieces of ezekiel bread and spread some vegenaise on them. I topped the mushrooms and the mixture over the bread! So delicious!
