Description
I have seen so many gorgeous vegan Portobello burger pictures all over social media, but only now did I decide to try creating one myself. Believe it or not, but it was easier than I initially thought. After all, I already had black bean-beet patty recipe that I knew would be perfect with the burger. So, it was just the matter of roasting the Portobello mushrooms and coming up with a tasty sauce for my vegan burger.
