Portabella Mushroom Burgers
![winesense_icon[1]](http://www.mywinesense.com/wp-content/uploads/winesense_icon13.jpg?x55370 "winesense_icon[1]")
This Recipe was created for this year’s Limited Edition Italian Brunello. One would think that it would have been paired with a traditional Italian dish and it would certainly be a perfect match. But this recipe is really just great example of the versatility of this wine. The meaty, grilled Portabella’s could also just as easily be replaced with a grilled burger or steak.
So if you are lucky enough to have one of the Sold Out Italian Brunello kits you have a wine that will work with many meals!

Mmmmmmushroom Burgers!
6 Portabella Mushrooms
3 Red Peppers (halved)
1 tsp Finely Minced Garlic
1 tsp Basil
¼ cup Olive Oil
¼ cup Balsamic Vinegar
¼ cup Winexpert Selection Limited Edition Italian Brunello
Combine garlic, basil, oil, vinegar and Italian Brunello in a long flat bottomed food container and mix thoroughly. De-stem the Portabella mushrooms. Add the Portabella mushrooms and red peppers to the mixture, cover with a tight fitting lid and shake.
Place in fridge for about 30 minutes to marinade.
Grill the mushrooms and red peppers on the BBQ for about 10-15 minutes. When ready to serve, place a red pepper over the mushroom, top with your favourite toppings and favourite cheese and serve on a bun.
Not lucky enough to have the Limited Edition Italian Brunello? You can substitute with an Italian Sangiovese or Chianti.
Bon Apetit,
Wine Sense
