Video Transcript

"Hey, this is Richard Buccola in New York City and today on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to make some nice portobello pizza. My favorite of the mushrooms the beautiful portobello. Let's show you what we are going to do to use these. This is actually going to be the dough the bottom of our pizzas. This is what we are going to put our pizza, this is our pizza dough, these are nice portobello mushrooms. First and foremost, you don't want to wash your portobello. You just want to get a wet paper towel, wipe them down and give them a good drying. Like so. That is all you want to do. We are going to remove the stem and actually chop up the stem and put that in our mixture. So you just want to carefully push the stem to north and south, east to west it pops right out. Save the stem; we are going to chop it up. So do this to all of your portobellos. I'm just working my knife back and forth I'm trying to chop all the big pieces moving in and in. Be careful when you try to pull our stems. You don't want to break the whole mushrooms. You want to go north, south, east, west you don't want to break it so hard that you break the cap. You want the cap in whole. I'm just going to keep chopping these pushing in, pushing in and giving it a good chop until they are nice and fine. So get your mushrooms chopped until they are nice and fine and we are going to add it to our spinach. I would tell you this mixture this toppings for this pizzas are great. They are going to be great whatever you make to whatever you use. Use your leftovers to and get rid of them. So add this to our mixture. I'm just going to add that all nice to our spinach mixture here. I say this is going to be a beautiful topping with the mozzarella everything that we have put in. I would tell you our sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, anything that you have you can pretty much put on a pizza it works."
