Preparation
Using a pastry brush, brush EVOO on the vegetable slices and the portobello mushrooms. Season them with salt and pepper. Place vegetables on a hot grill and cook until they are tender.
To make mayonnaise, combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse.
To assemble, slice portobellos into quarter-inch slices, spread both sides of the grilled bread with herbed mayonnaise, then top with one slice each of grilled vegetables and a quarter of the mushrooms. Finish off with lettuce and top with remaining piece of bread.
