Y-U-M-M-O!!!
I thought this was a DELICIOUS meal! I added pine nut and fresh chopped spinach to the sauté mix. I also think feta cheese would be good, but I haven't tried it. As a kid, we used to make mini pizzas on english muffins, which is what i decided to do here...it worked perfectly!

I've found that when shopping for this recipe, it is very important to actually buy the wild mushrooms. I thought that they were a little expensive at our grocery store, so I bought a different kind, and wow... it did not work! I also thought that the onions made the pizza far too soggy, and the parsley was way overpowering. I'd also recommend crushed red pepper in this recipe, just to add some well needed kick.
