Shiitake Mushroom and Ramps "Pizza"

Another night of quality time and cooking! This time with one of my other besties, Shaliga. After a trip to the Union Square Greenmarket this past Saturday, I made a healthier version of pizza for us, using these babies in lieu of traditional pizza crust...

It's the return of Ezekiel tortillas!

But what did I buy at the farmer's market? I got some shiitake mushrooms, ramps, asparagus, and a thyme plant.  On the way home I bought the Ezekiel tortillas, some Brad's marinara pasta sauce, and with these ingredients, decided to make these...

Shiitake Mushrooms and Ramps "Pizza"

We had them with roasted asparagus with lemon juice and lemon zest, a greens salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing, and some red wine that Shaliga brought over.

It was all delicioso!

So let me get to the recipe, which serves two! ...

Ingredients:

2 Ezekiel tortillas

1 cup Brad's Organic classic marinara sauce

About nine ramp bulbs and stems, minced

1 bunch ramp leaves, cut in half

2 cups shiitake mushrooms, coarsely chopped

About 2 tablespoons olive oil

sea salt to taste

nutritional yeast to taste

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• In a small saucepan, simmer marinara sauce over very low heat
• In a pan, heat the oil in medium low/medium heat
• Toss in minced ramp bulbs and stems and stir occasionally for 1 to 2 minutes
• Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook for 1 minute
• Add the ramps and cook for 1 minute
• Season with salt to taste
• Remove from heat
• Put wax paper on baking pan
• With a ladle or spoon, put marinara on tortillas
• Put ramps and mushrooms on top
• Sprinkle on nutritional yeast to taste
• Put in the oven for 5 minutes
• Enjoy!

A mix of minced stems and bulbs...

Ramp leaves-which I honestly could've chopped a little more of...

Shaliga helping out and enjoying the smell of the ramps...

Mmmmmmmm...

Later in the evening, we had some raw Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream from Raw Ice Cream Company. Shaliga and I agreed, raw ice cream is amazing!! We love the stuff.

Yummmm!

My other fave flavor of theirs is their Cinnamon Vanilla. It's great with pie or cake...

It's sugar-free! 

We capped the night off with lots of giggles and a sleepover.

Speaking of which, it's time to call it a night!

Hope you'll try the recipe (and the ice cream!) and enjoy.

Till next time!
