I learned from the Mycological Society of Seattle that raw mushrooms are not healthy for you. Raw mushroom contains a small level of bio accumulating toxin. Over long periods of consumption can have negative effects.

@Jen – Ha ha! It’s not one of our favorites, either. It’s been taken out of the meal planning rotation, but we keep it on the site for people who like to experiment.

This recipe leaves mushroom for improvement.

Some of you will be happy to know that we’re thinking about taking this recipe out of the rotation. It’s a bit strange, and strange is sometimes good, but we’re reconsidering…

Hi,
I made burgers and used the portabellas as the bun. I didn’t realize that sauteeing the mushroom would pull the water out of it so it was very soggy. I don’t really like raw mushrooms. Any suggestions or it is what it is with watery mushrooms? This sandwich sounds great and I’ll try it. Thanks for sharing. It is appreciated. To each his own.
Thanks.

I’m extremely open minded and usually don’t bother posting comments like this, but I really want to save folks from wasting some fairly expensive ingredients on this dish. I powered through half trying to will myself to believe it was good, but I finally just threw it out. More power to the folks who said they enjoyed it. There’s no doubt all those raw veggies are packed with nutrients, but there are plenty of other great paleo options that taste much better.

@TheloniusChip: Haha! I agree with you…my opinion is don’t put it down until you try it.

And that being said I just tried this meal (minus onions…not a fan of raw onions) and I thought it was delicious. I did not grill the mushrooms as Trixie did as I could see it coming out very soggy (any comments on this Trixie?), and for extra protein I added very lean, nitrite and dairy free ham. I used one large size mushroom and I was surprised how extremely filling it was (those things are pretty meaty). I thought the almond butter went well with the mushroom taste and it was further enhanced with the avocado I used.

What would be good to know, and this is a general suggestion to this site, is the nutritional break-down of the meal. Anyone can provide this?

God, shut up, all of you. Food violation? This did not taste good at all? Who the hell do you think you are? I hate people on the Internet.

I loved this idea! I grilled the mushroom first, then spread 2tbsp Organic Sunbutter over it and topped it with 4oz Applegate Farms Blk Forest Ham.
