I had the most delicious burger ever on Memorial Day.
It was a portobello grilled with a marinade of 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp tamari. Larry did the cooking, and says he poured a little beer on it to make it extra good. I believe him, although he was drinking Corona which doesn't really have a lot of flavor.
Then I placed it on a mediocre Whole Foods bun spread with chipotle mayonnaise, and added a slice of grilled red onion and a few wedges of avocado. What a feast!
It's easy to make your own chipotle mayonnaise. Start by puréeing a small can of chipotles in adobo sauce. Store this spicy paste in a jar in the fridge and add spoonfuls to soups, stews - anything that needs a kick. Stir a little into mayonnaise along with a squirt of lemon or lime juice for a zesty spread that will improve any sandwich or burger.
