A great way to enrich a burger is by adding our umami-rich Portabella Mushroom Powder into the patty. In this recipe we take it even further, infusing a garlicky mayonnaise spread with the powder and topping the burgers with sautéed portabellas and shallots. The result is a deep, rich and delicious burger experience.
