Portobello Mushroom Pizzas

Don't you just LOVE pizza?!

I do!



And I love these portobello mushroom pizzas even more because they are healthier!


Ingredients:

  • olive oil
  • salt, pepper
  • 2 portobello mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup spinach
  • small can of tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup couscous
  • 1 tsp pine nuts
  • red pepper flakes

Directions:

  1. Brush mushrooms with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. On preheated grill pan, grill 2 portabello mushroom until soft to the touch, approx 6 mins per side.
  3. Top with 1/2 cup tomato sauce and 1/3 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese and bake until bubbly. 
  4. Place on a bed of cooked whole wheat couscous (1/2 cup) mixed with 1/2 cup steamed spinach and 1 tsp pine nuts. sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.


Notes:
  • Used Hunts no salt added tomato sauce
  • If you don't have couscous, serve it with pasta, quinoa, or your favorite side dish.
  • Steam the spinach then put it ON TOP of the mushrooms before we cook them. That's my favorite way to make them because it ALMOST like like a real pizza! LOVE IT!!
  • Add turkey bacon bits, sundried tomatoes, onions, or your favorite pizza toppings!
  • Save some $$... Sam's Club sells mushrooms in a 4 pack for 5 bucks.
