Note: To roast the garlic, cut off the top portion of a garlic bulb (the pointy end), so that the cloves are exposed.
2
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top.
3
Place bulb, cut side up, in a baking dish.
4
Bake in a 400 degrees F oven for 20 minutes, remove, add more olive oil, and bake for an additional 10 minutes (or until the cloves are soft to the touch).
5
Squeeze out the roasted cloves and press gently with a knife, back and forth until a paste is made.

Set aside (the sugar will begin to dissolve, but that is okay).
16
4.
17
Heat, and lightly oil a grill (I like to use my George Foreman, so that it gets both sides at the same time).
18
Grill the glazed portobello mushrooms (about 5 minutes on each side).
19
Set aside to retain the moisture.
20
Grill the pineapple rings until they begin to caramelize (about 4 minutes on each side).

Place a mushroom on a toasted bun, add additional barbecue sauce, and top with a glazed pineapple ring.

Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
