Portobello Mushroom Pizza

Portobello Mushroom Pizza

Don’t we all love pizza? I love making them, but making the crust takes lots of time…. Using a mushroom for a crust is not only easier, it’s also healthier. I made spicy pesto pasta and potato wedges to complement this dish.

Cooking Tips

1. You can use cremini mushrooms to make a mini pizza version that works well as an appetizer.

2. You can replace the ground sirloin and chorizo with sausages, chicken or even seafood.

3. If you prefer more stuffings, simply remove the grills under the mushrooms to make more space.
