Portobello “Pizzas”

Who doesn’t love pizza? You cannot go into any city in the USA and not find at least 5 different pizza joints, and that’s just the small towns. Here, in New York City, they are everywhere! Why? well, if no one ate pizza, why would anyone in their right mind open a pizza place, right?
But a traditional pizza made with dough may not be your best option with swim suit season right around the corner. So this version, still gives you that “pizza” taste without adding inches to your bikini body.
The farmers market in Union Square, New York City is open 4 days a week. Since it is very early in the season there are not as many options as in the summer, but still enough to make some healthy choices. So as I was walking around and deciding what I wanted to prepare, I came across these gorgeous portobello mushrooms. They were perfect! I will definitely go back for more and purchase their other mushrooms too! Plus, I think it’s important to support the local farmer.
At first I was going to prepare a different recipe with these beauties, but then as I was walking home, I smelled pizza within just about every other street, making me crave pizza. But, not wanting all those extra calories I opted for a healthier version, but without any compromise to the satisfying taste of PIZZZZAAAAA!
So I hope you will try this recipe and provide me your feedback, and as always, Enjoy!
