Portions: Enough for around 1/2 a dozen medium size pizzas

---

Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Oregano
• 1/2 tsp Basil

Instructions

1. Put all ingredients in to a bowl

That's it!

It's perfect for freezing so don't worry about what to do with the leftovers or having to use it all up before it goes off, just use an ice cube tray I remove them from the tray when frozen and put them in to a freezer bag for use later on.

1. Put the Olive Oil, Onion and Garlic in to a frying pan and cook slowly for around 5 minutes until the onion is soft

3. Turn off the heat and oil a baking tray
   
4. Place the Large Flat Mushrooms on the Oiled Baking Tray and season the mushrooms well with salt and pepper (trust me, this simple step really enhances the flavour of the mushroom).
   
   
   
   
5. Spoon the Onion Mix in to the Mushrooms
   
   
   
   
6. Top with slices of Salami, Tomato and Mozzarella

9. Place in the Oven at 200º for around 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the mushrooms are juicy!

Taco Seasoning (Home Made Mix) Recipe

---

Ingredients

• 1.5 TSP Chilli Flakes
• 1 TSP Cumin
• 1 TSP Paprika
• 1/2 TSP Onion Powder
• 1 TSP Garlic Powder
• 1/2 TSP Oregano
• 1/4 CUP Warm Water

---

Instructions

1. Put all dry ingredients in a small bowl and mix together
2. Mix in the Warm Water

For me 1kg of minced beef is too much to eat in one sitting so unless you are batch cooking a load to put in the freezer, put the dry mix ingredients in a small sealable jar and use accordingly - i.e. if your cooking 500g of mince for your taco's then use half the mix or for 250g use a quarter of it and then add the warm water when required (just use less etc).
