Portobello Sandwiches
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes, or until softened. Turn the heat off and add the barbecue sauce to the mushrooms, stirring to coat.
  2. To serve, spread 1 tablespoon of the mayo on each toasted bun. Spoon the mushroom mixture evenly onto the buns and serve immediately.
Notes
Seitan Variation: Use the seitan from the Route 66 Seitan Sandwiches (page 114 in American Vegan Kitchen) in place of the mushrooms. Cut the seitan into ¼ to ½-inch slices and proceed with the recipe.
