Portobello mushrooms stuffed with sausage, rice and a pizza sauce made with Zesty Italian & Pizza Seasoning Blend, topped with cheese and baked to a golden brown. Can easily be made dairy-free with a few simple swaps.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
8 ounces ground mild or hot Italian sausage
1½ cups cooked brown rice
2 cups mixed baby power greens (spinach, kale, Swiss chard)
½ cup canned no salt added crushed tomatoes
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon Zesty Italian & Pizza Seasoning Blend
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese or vegan Parmesan cheese, divided
4 large portobello mushroom caps
1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella & provolone cheese blend or vegan mozzarella cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté 1-2 minutes. Add sausage to skillet; cook and crumble until no longer pink and nicely browned.
Stir in rice and baby greens; sauté until greens are wilted. Stir in crushed tomatoes, water and Zesty Italian & Pizza Seasoning Blend. Simmer 1-2 minutes. Stir in ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat; set aside.
Remove stems from mushroom caps; using a spoon, carefully scrap out gills from inside of caps. Place mushrooms, tops down, on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet.
Divide rice mixture among mushrooms. Top each mushroom with ¼ cup shredded cheese and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
