Ingredients
Ingredients:
4 whole wheat pitas
4 handfuls of spinach leaves
8 ounces of mushrooms
1 tablespoon of miso paste
1 tablespoon of water (or leftover water from soaking sun dried tomatoes)
2-3 cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce:
3 oz of sun dried tomatoes (dried, not packed in oil)
28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon of dried basil
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of dried red chili flakes, optional
1 teaspoon of dried parsley
Optional Toppings:
Nutritional yeast
Red pepper flakes
Dried parsley
Preparation
Add sun dried tomatoes to a small bowl of warm water. Let soften for about 5 minutes then drain (you can save the excess water for cooking the mushrooms if you’d like). Next, add all the sauce ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. Pour into a small skillet and warm to a simmer. Let simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash and cut mushrooms. Add miso paste and water or leftover sun dried tomato water to a small bowl and mix until miso has dissolved. Add mushrooms to a pan on medium heat. Add miso water and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic, salt and pepper and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
Layer sun dried tomato sauce, spinach, cooked mushrooms, nutritional yeast and red pepper flakes onto the pita. Cook pizza for 10-12 minutes.
