4 15-grain rolls
toppings:

Instructions

1. Prepare a medium fire in the grill. 2. Brush the mushroom caps with olive oil or barbecue sauce. 3. Grill mushrooms (and onion slices, if you like them), turning occasionally until tender and grill-marked, about 10 minutes. Grill the rolls until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes on each side. 4. To assemble the sandwiches, lightly brush the cut side of the toasted rolls with the remaining olive oil or barbecue sauce. Add Portobello burgers and desired toppings. 5. If pan-frying the mushrooms, simply cook in a little olive oil over medium heat until tender, turning occasionally. Serves 4.
