If you want to rustle up a tasty vegetarian recipe and enjoy a meal in a short time then this is always a winner. Portobello mushrooms are mature Italian brown mushrooms that have an intense flavour and a meaty texture. Mushrooms are low in calories, fat free, cholesterol free, gluten free and very low in salt, yet they are a nutritional power house with high levels of fibre, selenium, potassium and B vitamins. It is wise to eat cheese only in moderation and reduced fat mozzarella has less saturated fat than the regular variety. It is worth adding to this vegetarian recipe as it not only adds taste and flavour, but also approximately 6-7 grams of protein. The mushroom burgers and salad can be ready in 30 minutes from start to finish and can be enjoyed as part of a healthy weight loss diet.

This vegetarian recipe serves 4 people and preparation time takes just 20 minutes.
