This substantial pizza features meaty portobello mushrooms and bright red bell peppers, simply paired with fresh salted mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and fresh basil. If you don't have fresh basil, stir some pesto into the peppers and mushrooms before putting them on the pizza.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 red bell peppers, cut into thin slices, 1 1/2 pounds portobello mushrooms, stems removed, caps cut into 1/4-inch slices, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 pound store-bought or homemade pizza dough, 3 cloves garlic, minced, 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper, 3/4 cup lightly packed basil leaves, chopped, 1/2 pound fresh salted mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch cubes, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

Heat the oven to 450°. In a large frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat. Put the peppers in the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden, about 10 minutes more. Meanwhile, oil a 14-inch pizza pan or large baking sheet. Press the pizza dough onto the pan in an approximately 14-inch round or 9-by-13-inch rectangle. Spread the peppers and mushrooms on the pizza crust. Bake for 12 minutes. Sprinkle on the garlic, black pepper, and basil. Top with the mozzarella and then with the Parmesan. Drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Bake until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes longer.

Portobello Mushroom and Red Pepper Pizza

Nikola

I actually found this recipe in a cook book that pulled recipes from different chefs. I've made it a few times over the past couple of years and every time I make it I ask myself why I don't make it more often! I love it, my husband loves it. The poached egg on top is a perfect way to bring the delicious ingredients together.

Not very clear-put mushrooms in bowl and do you add the other ingredients to the bowl or to the fennel in the skillet and then stir in Mushrooms? I wish I had crushed the fennel seeds after toasting-on the fence as to whether I’ll try again

Deliciously earthy. I especially enjoyed the mushroom conserva on crostini topped with either brie or ricotta!

You can often find storebrand Worcestershire sauce that does not have anchovies (anchovies = expensive ingredient, storebrand = cheaper without anchovies) e.g. Walmart's "Everyday Essentials" Worcestershire does not have anchovies.

Split-Pea Soup with Portobellos

Meaty portobellos are especially good for adding substance and flavor to this soup, but shiitakes or other mushrooms will work well, too. You can also add a ham hock to the pot while the split peas cook, if you like.

Pasta Shells with Portobello Mushrooms

Boursin, a French cheese available in most supermarkets, melts smoothly to make an appetizing sauce. We call for pepper Boursin, but the dish is equally good with the herb-and-garlic version; just add a little fresh-ground black pepper to the finished pasta
