Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms

• servings: 5 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

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)

Directions

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!

BBQ Option:

Preheat BBQ to medium high.

Follow above steps in closed BBQ - 10 minutes for Bake 1, then 5 - 8 minutes for Bake 2.
