 Today I'm cooking with the SuperFood Shiitake Mushrooms. I couldn't find any good recipes, so I decided to make one up on my own. I had some ground beef in the freezer that needed to be used, so I thought burgers would be great. Since I use really lean ground beef (96%), I try to add moisture to it, and what has more moisture than mushrooms?! I thought adding some chopped and sauteed in the mix, then topping it with mushrooms would be great. I also love marsala with mushrooms, so I thought that would add even more delicious flavor. These burgers were a bit too moist, and one crumbled a bit, so next time I might add some ground oats to bind it a bit more. Shiitake Marsala Burgers 1 tsp. EVOO 16 organic shiitake mushrooms, divided 1 small yellow onion, minced 1/2 c. dry marsala, divided 1/4 tsp. dried thyme 1 tsp. grill seasoning 1 tbsp. Worchestershire sauce 8 oz. 96% lean ground beef 2 pitas, sliced in half 4 slices of Swiss cheese Dijon mustard Mince 8 of the shiitake mushrooms. Heat a skillet over medium-low, add the EVOO, mushrooms and onion. Sautee for 5 minutes, or until the moisture is cooked out. Turn heat to high, add 1/4 c. marsala wine. Cook marsala off completely. Add mushroom mix to a mixing bowl. Cool for 5 minutes. Slice remaining mushrooms, add to pan and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add remaining wine, cook off, place mushrooms in a dish and set aside. Add ground beef, thyme and worchestershire to the minced mushrooms/onions. Gently mix, form into 4 patties. Heat skillet over medium heat, add patties. Cook for 5 minutes, flip, top with mushrooms and swiss. Cook next side for 5 minutes. Slide into pitas, top with mustard.
