For 5 mushrooms

Mushrooms and toppings

5 large mushrooms, about 10 cm/4 inches wide; portobello or flat mushrooms
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
⅔ cup pizza sauce, store-bought
100 g (3½ oz) salami, sliced, chopped
¼ red onion, finely chopped
⅓ cup black olives, sliced
100 g (1 cup) mozzarella cheese, shredded

Equipment

Oven
Small, sharp, thin knife
BBQ

Instructions

Oven method

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
Step 2: Carefully break or cut the stems off the mushrooms.
Step 3: Chop the stems to use as filling.
Step 4: Place the mushrooms cap-side up. With a small, sharp, thin knife, carefully cut a small cross in each mushroom without splitting it.
Tip: The incision lets excess water drain as the mushrooms bake.
Step 5: Brush the tops with oil, then quickly sprinkle with salt and pepper so it sticks.
Step 6: Flip the mushrooms and lightly dab the insides with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 7: Fill the mushrooms with pizza sauce. Sprinkle over the chopped mushroom stems, onion, half the salami and half the olives.
Step 8: Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven.
Tip: This is the first bake; add the cheese during the second bake.
Step 9: Top with the cheese and the remaining salami and olives.
Step 10: Bake for a further 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

BBQ option

Step 11: Preheat the BBQ to medium-high.
Step 12: Follow the same preparation and topping steps, cooking with the lid closed for 10 minutes for the first bake, then 5–8 minutes for the second bake.
