Filling
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps, cleaned and sliced
- ¼ cup – white vinegar
- ½ cup – extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves – garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon – oil, for sauteing
- Vegan cheese slices, I used Chao’s
Garlic Aioli
- ½ cup – vegan mayo
- 2 teaspoon – lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon – black pepper
- 3 tablespoon – fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoon – sriracha
- 2 cloves – garlic, minced
Instructions
- Clean and descale the portobello mushroom caps. Thinly slice, and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the white vinegar, olive oil, and garlic. Add in the sliced portobello and allow it to marinate for 30 minutes.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the vegan mayo, lemon juice, black pepper, parsley, sriracha, and garlic. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium-low heat. Saute the onions and cook them for about 10 minutes. You want them to be soft and golden brown, set aside.
- Next, increase the heat to medium-high and add the portobello mushroom to the pan, along with the marinade sauce. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring every now and then. Cook until the mushrooms have shrunk half their original size. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Assembly:
- Cut focaccia bread into square sandwich size pieces. If you have thick focaccia, you can cut it in half, or if you have a thinner one, you can use two thing pieces for your sandwich.
- On the bottom half, spread the garlic aioli, add the portobello slices, sauteed onions, vegan cheese slice and top it off with the other half of the bread. Serve and enjoy!
