Today Karen came up with Portabella Pizza for lunch.
Only 3 easy ingredients:
2 large portalella mushroom caps
1/2 cup tomato sauce (we used puttenesca for more flavor)
1/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese
Well, as a pizza fan I had to suspend all thoughts of crunchy satisfaction. This is a "pizza" you have to eat with a knife and fork. The mushroom exudes water as it cooks and the sauce is hot so holding it to eat isn't happening. You need to cook in a 3 step method: heat mushroom, add sauce and heat, then add cheese till it melts.
Cooking the mushroom does soften and remove some of the earthy taste. Using a more flavorful sauce is important.
A personal Deep Dish Pizza, frozen or at a restaurant, averages just over 500 calories.
Our faux delight is 230 calories for 2 caps. 4 PointsPlus for my Weight Watcher friends.
Overall the flavor was good and it was filling. It's still not a pizza so our local pizzeria's have nothing to worry about.
