    Remove the pizza from the oven. Top with the jackfruit mixture, red onions, sautéed mushrooms, cheese and black pepper.

Common Questions & Swaps

  • A quick and easy recipe for sautéed mushrooms: http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/sauteed-mushrooms-36550
  • Can I use regular (crunchy or smooth) peanut butter instead of the Manba? Yes either will do. If you want your pizza to have a nice kick like it would with the Manba, chop up 1/4 to 1/2 of a jalapeño and sauté it alongside the onion.
