Mushrooms and Walnut Pizza
Mushrooms is umami and savory where walnut is rich, and a shared earthy streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Earthy, savory mushrooms add a meaty depth and woodsy aroma to pizza. Toasted walnuts add a satisfying crunch and earthy, slightly bitter nuttiness. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
