4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons nutritional yeast

6 medium portobello mushrooms (or 4 portobellos and 8 ounces creminis)

2 tablespoons Montreal Seasoning Mix (homemade or store-bought)

1 sprig fresh rosemary

5 sprigs fresh thyme

1 large red bell pepper or 2 to 3 long hots

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 large bunch rapini or 1 bunch spinach and 1 bunch arugula

Salt and black pepper

4 kaiser or hoagie rolls

4 Vegan Provolone slices or Moxarella, provolone-style

1. Preheat the oven to 375-degrees F. Combine 2 tablespoons of oil, the mustard and nutritional yeast in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside. Remove the stems and scrape the gills from the mushrooms. Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet, gill-side down, and spread all over with the mustard mixture. If using creminis, spread the mixture on the caps. Sprinkle the mushrooms with the spice mixture. Remove the leaves from the rosemary and thyme and add to the mushrooms. Cover the pan with parchment paper and then tightly cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes.

2. Chop the peppers into 1/2-inch thick slices. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the peppers. Cook, stirring only after the peppers have begun charring. Season with salt and pepper and cook until crisp-tender. Set aside.

3. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat in the skillet and add the garlic. Cook until golden, stirring often. Add the greens and stir well using tongs. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, but still bright green. If cooking rapini, add 1/4 cup water or vegetable broth, cover the pan and cook until tender. Remove and set aside.

4. When the mushrooms are ready, remove them from the pan and cut into thin slices. Split and toast the rolls. Divide the mushrooms among the rolls, add cheese and broil until the cheese is melted and browning. Top with the rapini and peppers and serve.
