Pizza With Mushrooms and Artichoke Hearts

"This recipe is from the vegetarian cookbook Mediterranean Harvest. According to the author, it's very popular among Roman pizza parlors. I like to use a blend of wild mushrooms on this. You can use frozen, canned, or fresh artichoke hearts on this. The author also suggested substituting fennel for the artichokes."

directions

  • Set a baking stone on the center rack and heat the oven to 450.
  • Heat 1 T of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, artichoke hearts, salt, pepper, and thyme, and continue to cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are fragrant and very lightly browned, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat, taste, and adjust seasonings.
  • Line the pizza dough with slices of mozzarella and top with the mushrooms and artichoke hearts. Sprinkle on the Parmesan and oregano. Drizzle on the remaining 2 T olive oil.
  • Place the pizza pan on the stone. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the crust.
  • Pull out the lower rack of the oven and carefully slide the pizza from the pan onto the lower rack. Return to the oven for 1 minute to get a nice crisp brown bottom on the crust.
  • Slide the pizza back onto the pan, or onto a paddle, and serve.

When I was little, I wanted to grow up to be a chef. I grew up to be a doctor instead, but I still love to cook and eat! I especially love recipes that make use of fresh vegetables. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
