Method

Mushroom Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Mushrooms

    Place the portabella mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.

  2. 4

    Grill the Mushrooms

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and grill them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until tender and grill marks appear.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread garlic herb aioli on the bottom half of each pretzel bun. Layer with lettuce, grilled mushroom, tomato slices, and onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.

Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat the oven according to the package instructions for the frozen fries. Spread the fries on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

  2. 7

    Bake the Fries

    Bake the fries as directed on the package, usually around 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through until they are golden and crispy.
