🍄 Wild Mushroom Topping

Ingredients

2 cups wild mushrooms (oyster, maitake, shiitake, etc.), roughly torn
1 roasted red bell pepper, sliced (jarred or homemade)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Prepration for:Savory Wild Mushroom Chickpea Pan Pizza

Step 1/3

Make the Chickpea Crust

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt, baking powder, and garlic powder until smooth. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the toppings.

Step 2/3

Cook the Mushroom Topping

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and mushrooms, cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and tender. Add salt, pepper, parsley, and optional balsamic vinegar. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3/3

Assemble and Bake

Grease a round cake pan or oven-safe skillet with olive oil. Pour the chickpea batter into the pan and smooth it evenly. Bake crust alone for 12 minutes until set and lightly golden. Remove from oven, spread roasted red peppers evenly, and then layer sautéed mushrooms on top. Return to oven for another 10–12 minutes until everything is heated through and the edges are slightly crisp.

Chef's Tips & Notes

Tips: Add pine nuts or vegan cheese (if not avoiding) before final bake for added richness. Serve with arugula or a drizzle of tahini-lemon sauce for brightness. You can cook the crust in a skillet on the stovetop too, like socca, if you prefer a thinner style.
