ArcaMax

6 - 8 large Portabello mushroom caps
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
6 - 8 Kaiser rolls
Sliced onion
Sliced tomato
Sliced provolone cheese

Sauce:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/3 cup finely chopped green olives

Place mushrooms and next 4 ingredients in a large ziploc bag and marinate for several hours. Meanwhile you can prepare condiments for the sandwiches and combine the mayonnaise, garlic powder and green olives to create a sauce for the sandwiches. After the mushrooms have marinated, heat grill or broiler and cook for several minutes per side. Place on rolls, top with sauce and add the desired condiments.

The Skinny: You are already off to a good start with mushrooms rather than meat. Use low fat provolone cheese and light mayo for the sauce.
