Ingredients

• Portobello mushroom caps, for as many as you are going to serve
• A few large shallots
• Tamari sauce
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• A tablespoon each fresh sage, rosemary, lemon thyme, and marjoram
• Penja pepper or other pepper, to taste
• Sweet paprika, to taste
• Avocado
• A few radishes, sliced thin
• Greens of choice
• Gala apple, sliced thin
• Agave nectar, to taste
• Sea salt, to taste, to taste
• Mustard, for serving

Preparation

1. Peel and quarter the shallots, then soak in very cold water for a couple of hours (change the water a few times). Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the marinade for your mushroom caps by mixing equal parts tamari and olive oil. Add about a tablespoon each of fresh chopped herbs, a teaspoon of lemon juice, and a pinch each of paprika and pepper.
3. Gently remove the stems and gills from the mushrooms, then clean gently with a damp cloth. Place mushrooms and shallots in the marinade and set sit for a few hours, turning them from time to time.
4. After a few hours, place the mushrooms and shallots in a dehydrator for 3 hours. Alternatively, cook them in the oven at 255°F until their color changes.
5. Peel and pit the avocados and place them in blender with a pinch of salt, mustard (adjust the amount according to your taste), a few drops of lemon juice, and sea salt. Blend until reduced to a cream.
6. Core the apples, then slice thin and toss with a little bit of lemon juice to prevent browning. Brush with agave. Wash and slice the radishes and toss the greens with a little bit of olive oil.
7. Assemble the burger by adding a spoonful of avocado cream, followed by apples, shallots, radishes, and greens. Top with second mushroom cap.
