These Hot Portabella Rolls were inspired by this and the idea of creating a vegan healthier version of the humble hot dog roll.
Portabella Mushrooms are large and meaty, making them a great vegan substitute for dishes featuring meat (like burgers). Sliced up into large strips, grilled and stuffed into a hot dog roll they mimic a hot dog. Add a corn and pepper filling drizzle some mustard and you have a messy and delicious veggie roll.

- 1 tsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the ears of corn to the pot and cook for 5-10 minutes or until ears have turned a bright yellow and are cooked through.
