Chipotle Pizza with Portobellos, Spinach and Smoked Apple "Sausage" ...yeah

"You want some pizza?"

I know.  And it's even yummier than it sounds if that's possible.  It requires some love, but I think just the name is motivation enough.  This was inspired by my twin sister, Kate, who enjoys dipping her crust in Ranch.  Brilliant, Kate, brillant.




Ingredients

Pizza:
Pizza dough (sometimes we make it from scratch, but with this, I'd get pre-made at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's.  Or I'm sure if you don't have access to those, any grocery store would have it.  Or actually, I've heard that any pizza parlor will sell you dough if you ask).
1 or 2 Portobello mushrooms depending on how much you like em, diced and mixed in a bowl with some olive oil, salt and pepper
3⁄4 bag of spinach
Smoked Apple "Sausage" , sliced into round discs (we got it from Whole Foods - but any sausage would be yummy if you can't find that)
Cheese (we used Daiya cheese.  It's this amazing new product that you can find at Whole Foods.  It melts amazingly and it's sooo yummy.  If you can't find it, any ol' rice or soy cheese will do.)

Sauce: combine ingredients in food processor.
1⁄2 Cup Veganaise
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp agave
tiny dash of fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Chipotle seasoning (less if you don't like spicy)
pinch dried celery seed
5 cloves roasted garlic (recipe below)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Roasted Garlic:
Preheat oven to 400°F.  Cut off bottom of head of garlic leaving the center to keep it together.  Place in foil boat cut side up.  Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle with salt.  Turn over so cut side is down.  Close the foil boat and roast in oven for 40 minutes.  You can do this one or a few days ahead of time.  Roasted garlic stays good in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 days.

Directions
1.  Flour a pizza pan.
2. On a well floured surface, sprinkle flour on ball of dough and spread dough into a round disc to fit your pizza pan.
3. Pile ingredients starting with the sauce.  Then add spinach, mushrooms, sausage, and cheese.
4.  Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.  Finish in broiler to really get the cheese melty and the crust crispy and brown.

Enjoy!
