1

Preparation

15 minutes + 2 hours marinating time

Clean 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.

2

Preparing the smoker

20 minutes

Preheat 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.

3

Smoking

1-1.5 hours

Place 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.

4

Serving

5 minutes

Let 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.
