This is a post from my Weight Watchers blog. I loved this recipe so much, I HAD to share!
------------------------------
I ate so much good food today. For lunch, I made portabello mushroom pizzas. I found these extra large portabellos at the farmer's market, they were 1.25 each. The smell was so musky and overwhelmingly YUM. They were bigger than my hand.
Things you'll need:
tomatoes
2% mozzarella cheese (use full fat if you have the points)
pepperonis
red onion
minced garlic
italian spices
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 350. Wash your veggies, even the mushrooms. People say your not supposed to wash mushrooms, but I always do. They were grown in sh!t, plus at the market they are so handled, grosses me out. Wash them and pat them dry. Cut the stems off as close to the cap as you can, to make a nice flat surface. I chopped up the stems and put them over a Caesar salad for dinner. Dice your tomatoes into small sections, I diced a plum tomato into slices, then the slices into fourths. Small bites. Slice and peel the rd onion. (At the point you could add and really beef up with any veggies you like). Spray cooking spray (or use olive oil) on a cooking sheet. Spoon minced garlic underneath where you will assemble the pizzas.
Assemble:
Lay the mushroom so the cut stem is facing you. Spoon in a tablespoon of garlic (or enough to your taste--I like ALOT). Add a few tomatoes. Add onions and other veggies. Then add six pepperonis. Then add an ounce of 2% mozzarella.
Cook:
Bake in the oven for about 8-12 minutes. The cheese won't get a good golden color until you broil it for 1 minute. People new to broiling, be careful, don't let it burn the broiler is fast!
The picture is before I cooked 'em. The one in front is kinda messy, but messy=tasty. These were DELICIOUS. Everyone in the family loved them, my mom who eats gluten free, me, my sister who eats terribly (lol), and my 6 year old nephew.
Enjoy,
Jordan

yummy, will give this one a go
Thanks for posting this! I will start my diet soon so I need some low carb yumminess :)
i like the sound of this and the sound of not much cleanup. i've been eating eggplant pizzas for awhile, the slice is the "dough," so this will be a nice change.
merci.
This is right up my alley! I may just be trying this over the weekend! ~Val
I've found mushrooms to be an awesome replacement for things I don't want/like to eat. Recently I've started using sliced mushroom in place of pasta (don't like pasta, even fresh tastes like glue to me) and in place of rice I have diced cauliflower. I also invented a cheese substitute for bakes- grated zuchinni and chopped pine nuts mixed together- you can add a tiny bit of parmesan to cheese it up big time. Cheese is my one addiction, I'm having trouble letting that go!
