Portobello Sandwiches
with chimichurri sauce and chips
This tasty sandwich layers in mushrooms, bell peppers, mozzarella and fresh chimichurri sauce. When this recipe was first included in a meal plan in May 2016 we recommended using the grill, but we've brought it indoors this time and get a nice sear under the oven's broiler.
