Tonight's dinner: Onion-Mushroom Teriyaki "Pizza"
Ingredients:
4-5 cloves Garlic
1 largeish yellow onion
4-6oz mushrooms
Butter
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
A packet of shredded mozzerella cheese
A bottle of good sesame-teriyaki sauce
Some nice sourdough bread.
Put about 2-3 tbsp butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. While that warms up, peel and thinly slice the garlic. One the butter is melted, add the garlic to the pan.
While the garlic does its thin, peel and slice the onion, go for about 1/4 inch slices to get nice half-rings out of it. After the garlic's had a few minutes to soak into the butter, toss the onion in.
Let the onion cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes. While it does, clean and slice the mushrooms (about 1/8 inch is my standard). By the time you toss them in, the onion should have started to brown.
Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, still stirring occasionally. Add the soy sauce and continue cooking until most of the liquid has cooked off.
Turn off the heat but do not remove the pan.
Cut 2-4 slices of bread, about a half inch thick. (The number will depend on how wide your loaf is, 4 slices for standard sandwhich-size loaf, mine is much wider so I just do two.)
Thinly spread some butter over them, then a sprinkle of mozzerella cheese.
Scoop the onion and mushroom mix onto the bread with tongs, covering nicely. Drizzle on some sesame-teriyaki sauce and add pizza-like layer of mozzerella atop.
Shove the whole thing in your toaster oven or broiler and cook until the cheese is melted and starts to brown.
Remove. Slice in halves. Serve.
