Grilled Portobello Burger with Asparagus

Directions

1. 1
   Place basil, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, pine nuts and roughly chopped chili to a food processor and blend until smooth.
2. 2
   Add a few tablespoons of water (or olive oil), to get a creamy consistency.
3. 3
   Transfer sauce to a small bowl, add chopped greens, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
4. 4
   Brush mushrooms with about half of the sauce.
5. 5
   Meanwhile heat up a grill pan over high heat. Once hot, add mushrooms to one side of the pan and weigh down with a heavy object, such as a small cast iron pan. Grill on both sides for 3-5 minutes, or until fully tender.
6. 6
   While mushrooms are cooking, add asparagus to the other side of the pan, and grill for 5 minutes, turning once or twice. Season with salt and pepper.
7. 7
   Serve mushrooms warm on toasted buns, topped with the rest of the sauce, asparagus, avocado, bell pepper, greens and vegan cheese. Enjoy!
