--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                       Dressing
  1      cup           mayonnaise
    1/3  cup           shopped fresh basil
  2      tablespoons   Dijon mustard
  1      teaspoon      fresh lemon juice
    1/3  cup           olive oil
  1      tablespoon    minced garlic
                       Everything else
  1 1/2  cups          mesquite wood chips -- soaked in cold
                       water 1 hour (optional)
  6                    to 5-inch-diameter portobello mushrooms -- stems
removed
  6                    to 4-inch-diameter whole-grain hamburger -- split
                       buns
  6      large         romaine lettuce leaves
  6      large         tomato slices

Mix first 4 ingredients in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk
olive oil and garlic in another small bowl.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). When coals turn white, drain chips, if
using, and scatter over coals. When wood chips begin to smoke, brush
mushroom caps on both sides with garlic oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Grill mushrooms until tender and golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer to platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Grill cut side of
hamburger buns until light golden, about 2 minutes.
Place bottom half of hamburger bun on each plate. Top each with 1 mushroom,
then 1 lettuce leaf and 1 tomato slice. Spoon some basil-mustard sauce over
tomato and top with bun. Pass remaining basil-mustard sauce separately.
