Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 large mushrooms (, 10cm/4" wide (portobello, flat mushrooms etc, Note 1))
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2/3 cup pizza sauce ((I use store bought))
  • 100g/ 3.5 oz salami slices (, chopped)
  • 1/4 red onion (, finely chopped)
  • 1/3 cup black olive slices
  • 1 cup (100g) mozzarella cheese (, shredded )

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  • Carefully break or cut the stems off the mushrooms.
  • Chop stems (will use as filling).
  • Place mushrooms cap side up. Using a small, sharp, THIN knife, cut a small cross in the mushroom, taking great care not to split the mushroom (to drain excess water, Note 2)
  • Brush the tops with oil, then quickly sprinkle on salt and pepper (be fast so it sticks!)
  • Flip then lightly dab the inside with remaining oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Fill mushrooms with pizza sauce, sprinkle with chopped mushroom, onion, half salami and half olives.
  • Bake 1 - Bake 10 minutes, remove from oven.
  • Top with cheese, remaining salami and olives.
  • Bake 2 - Bake further 10 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve immediately!
