Portobello Pizzas
Posted by Jessica Harlan on August 28, 2007 - 2:52am.

Made on the grill, these "pizzas" are vegetarian and wheat-free. If you have leftover pizza sauce on hand, these can be assembled and cooked in about 15 minutes, making them a perfect weeknight grill meal.

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. soy sauce
freshly ground pepper
4 portobello mushrooms
6 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 cup pizza sauce (such as the sauce from my calzone recipe)
Italian seasoning

  1. Prepare grill.
  2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar and soy sauce, season with pepper. Prepare mushrooms by scraping out the gills and the stem on the underside. Brush mushrooms on both sides with oil and vinegar mixture.
  3. Place the mushroom caps, stem side down, on hot grill grate, close cover and grill for about 4 minutes. Remove from grill, place stem-side up on a plate. Spoon pizza sauce over each mushroom, and place a few pieces of fresh mozzarella on each mushroom. Season with Italian seasoning.
  4. Return to grill, grill for about 7 to 8 more minutes, or until cheese has melted.

 

Serves 4.

This is definitely something I am going to have to try this weekend. I think I can pick up some reasonably priced Portobello mushrooms and I always have mozzarella cheese on hand. Now I'm off to find the calzone sauce recipe.....

In a pinch...

...you could use store-bought tomato sauce or pizza sauce. If you do make the sauce from the calzone recipe, be sure to freeze the rest for when you do actually make calzones or pizza, or even to toss with pasta!

I had portobello mushroom parmesian at a restaurant this summe.  I don't know if I spellled that right, but anyway it was amazing.  It wasn't breaded, just cheese and sauce.  But the sauce is really important since there are only three ingredients in the dish.  yummy!!!!
