Recipe
Makes: 2 medium pizzas or one large pizza.
Ingredients:
Crust:
Smashed Avo & Basil Guacamole:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of pepper
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
- One handful of fresh basil
Herby Mushrooms:
- 300g of button mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon of italian herbs
- 1 tablespoon of vegan margarine

Other:

Method:
- Make the garlic & herb pizza crust as per the instructions in the recipe.
- While the crust is pre-cooking, make the guacamole by blending all guacamole ingredients in a food processor, or high powered blender until smooth. Scrape down sides as needed, set aside.
- To make the herby mushrooms, wash & slice the mushrooms & melt the margarine in a pan on medium heat.
- When the margarine is melted and hot, add all the mushroom ingredients to the pan and stir until everything is evenly coated. Fry until mushrooms are brown and slightly shrunken, but still firm (3 - 5 minutes). If the mushrooms begin to stick, add another teaspoon or so of margarine.
