How to make a mushroom pizza topping with preserved mushrooms?

Hey there, pizza lovers! Today, I'm stoked to share with you a mouthwatering way to make a mushroom pizza topping using preserved mushrooms. As a supplier of top - notch preserved mushrooms, I've seen firsthand how these little fungi can take a pizza from ordinary to extraordinary.

Why Preserved Mushrooms?

First off, you might be wondering why go for preserved mushrooms instead of fresh ones. Well, there are a few great reasons. Preserved mushrooms, like the ones we offer in our Mushroom in Drum and Preserved Mushroom in Drum, are available year - round. You don't have to worry about seasonal availability or spoilage. They're also super convenient. No need to clean, slice, or worry about them going bad quickly. And let's not forget the flavor! The preservation process locks in all those earthy, umami - rich flavors that mushrooms are known for.

Ingredients You'll Need

Preserved Mushrooms: I highly recommend our Fresh Champignon In Brine In Whole. These are whole champignons preserved in brine, which gives them a nice tangy kick.
Olive Oil: A good quality olive oil will help to bring out the flavors of the mushrooms and add a bit of richness to the topping.
Garlic: A couple of cloves of garlic will add a wonderful savory note.
Rosemary: Fresh rosemary is my go - to herb for mushrooms. It adds a lovely, fragrant flavor.
Salt and Pepper: To season the mushrooms to taste.
Red Pepper Flakes (Optional): If you like a bit of heat, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes will do the trick.

Step - by - Step Guide

Step 1: Drain the Mushrooms

Start by taking your preserved mushrooms out of the drum. Pour them into a colander and let them drain for about 10 - 15 minutes. This will get rid of the excess brine, which can be a bit too salty if you leave it on. You can gently press down on the mushrooms with a spoon to help remove even more liquid.

Step 2: Prepare the Seasonings

While the mushrooms are draining, mince your garlic cloves. Take a sprig of rosemary and strip the leaves off the stem, then chop them finely. If you're using red pepper flakes, have them ready too.

Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms

Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium - sized skillet over medium - high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic. Stir it around for about 30 seconds until it starts to become fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn. Then, add the drained mushrooms to the skillet. Spread them out evenly so that they all get a chance to cook.

Step 4: Season and Cook

Sprinkle the chopped rosemary, a pinch of salt, a few grinds of black pepper, and if you're using them, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes over the mushrooms. Stir everything together well. Let the mushrooms cook for about 8 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You'll notice that they'll start to release some of their moisture and then absorb the flavors of the seasonings. They should become nicely browned and tender.

Step 5: Let Them Rest

Once the mushrooms are cooked to your liking, take the skillet off the heat. Let the mushrooms rest for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together even more.

Assembling the Pizza

Now that your mushroom topping is ready, it's time to make the pizza. You can use a pre - made pizza crust or make your own from scratch. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the crust. Then, sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Next, arrange your sautéed mushrooms evenly over the cheese. You can also add some additional toppings like sliced onions, bell peppers, or extra cheese if you want.

Pop the pizza in a pre - heated oven at 425°F (218°C) for about 12 - 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips and Tricks

If you want your mushrooms to be extra crispy, you can increase the cooking time in the skillet a bit, but keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
You can experiment with different types of preserved mushrooms. We have a variety of options in our drums, each with its own unique flavor profile.
If you're short on time, you can skip the sautéing step and just drain the mushrooms and add them directly to the pizza. They'll still taste great, but the flavors won't be as developed.
