Smoked Portobello Burger

Large portobello mushrooms are marinated in a savory mixture and then hot smoked until they develop a deep, meaty texture. The smoke gives the mushrooms an intense aroma perfect for burgers. Beech wood combined with a hint of cherry wood creates a harmonious smoky flavor.

Instructions
Preparation
15 minutes + 2 hours marinating timeClean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Mix all marinade ingredients well and fully coat the mushrooms. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Preparing the smoker
20 minutesPreheat the smoker to 110-120 °C and add beech and cherry wood chips. Soak the chips in water for 30 minutes beforehand to ensure even smoke development.
Smoking
1-1.5 hoursPlace the marinated mushrooms gill-side up on the grill grate and smoke at a constant temperature until a core temperature of 65-70 °C is reached and the mushrooms are tender and aromatic.
Serving
5 minutesLet the mushrooms rest briefly, then serve on burger buns with desired toppings such as vegan cheese, lettuce, and tomato slices.
Pro Tip
Place the mushrooms gill-side up in the smoker so the marinade does not run out and the smoky flavor can develop more fully.
