Portobella Chorizo Burgers

Good morning, world! Emily Schromm here. My philosophy is this: there is an inner superhero in us all, and it’s OUR duty to UNLEASH it. I am from Denver, Colorado, unleashing my own superhero by way of lifting heavy things, eating bacon, and training clients all around the world. Formerly on some reality television shows and also recently named Women’s Health Magazine’s Next Fitness Star, you better believe it took some good gut-healing food and lots of lifting for me to feel the confidence I feel today. Now, by way of that good food and online training, it’s my calling to help all I can in feeling that same confidence.

I want to share one of my favorite recipes with you guys. This recipe is simple and wonderful for two reasons: it not only impresses everyone you make it for with little to no effort on your part, it makes the BEST breakfast casserole the next day.

Clear your schedule! Tonight, dinner will be Chorizo Portobello Burgers.

My recipes are almost annoying in their simplicity. My philosophy is that if I can’t throw it together in five minutes or less, it won’t be a good solution for those nights I am exhausted and want nothing more than to order delivery. If I won’t make it, how can I expect my clients to make it?

So that’s what this is: an Emily-approved-throw-it-together-and-impress-people recipe (and tried and tested by many of my online clients as their fave).

I hope you love it as much as I do.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound grass-fed beef
• 1 pound chorizo
• 1 clove diced garlic
• 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• Salt & pepper
• 8 portobella caps

Pre-heat over to 380 ºF.

Combine the grass-fed beef with the chorizo. Add garlic, cilantro, salt & pepper and mix together with hands in a large bowl.

You can use baby portobellos or big portobella caps. Either way, cut the stalk off the bottom of the mushrooms so you create a little bowl in the mushroom cap. For the small mushrooms, roll 1-2 oz of meat rolled into a ball and lay it on the mushroom cap. For the big mushrooms, use a larger handful of meat (roughly 5 ounces).

Lay the filled mushroom caps on a baking sheet and make for 20 minutes. I like to serve these with a big side of bacon Brussels sprouts (cooked in a separate dish right next to the burgers) in bacon grease, salt and garlic.
