Preparation

Step 1

1. In a dish, combine Italian dressing, lemon and Worcestershire sauce. Add mushrooms, and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or overnight, if desired).
2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Grill mushrooms 2 minutes, then flip, top with cheese, and let melt. Grill onions simultaneously 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until tender. Place hamburger buns on the grill to toast lightly as well.
3. To build the burger, spread the top half of each bun with aioli. On each bottom half, place a mushroom, some red onions, a bit of arugula, and the top half.
