Today Rob found mushrooms nearly the size of my head at the farmers market. So what better to use them for than to make pizza! These are seriously easy to make and you can put anything you like on them. The one's we made are of course vegan. I highly recommend trying the cashew cheese - the cashews need to be soaked overnight or for at least 3 hours first.
Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 10-12 minutes.
Ingredients:
• 8 Portabella mushrooms (Or in my case, 2 massive ones)
• 2 cups pizza sauce (I used an organic pasta sauce)
• Vegan Cashew Basil Cheese Sauce (see recipe below)
• 1/3 cup of each: red, green, orange pepper, diced
• 1/3 cup sweet onion, diced
• 2-3 large basil leaves, finely diced
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Directions
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease an oven tray with olive oil.
Make your Vegan Cashew Basil cheese sauce by using the recipe below. Set aside.
Wash and remove stems of portabellas. Place portabellas ‘belly’ side up on the baking sheet. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce into each portabella. Now spoon about 2 teaspoons of Vegan Cashew basil Cheese Sauce on top of the pizza sauce.
Chop the onion and pepper and then sprinkle onto portabellas.
Finally, shake on some red pepper flakes and sprinkle finely diced basil on top. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, watching closely as broiler temperatures vary.
Serve immediately and enjoy! Serves 3-4.
