This base is very filling so make sure you make it nice and thin. On the taste side it has a drier taste than a normal flour pizza crust sp make sure you add some sloppy toppings.

Potato and Spinach Pizza

Being a weekday veggie causes you to take a look at some new recipes.

I went out for dinner to a pizza place the other week for my brothers birthday. It was during the week, so I had to order a vegetarian dish. I went for a potato and herb based pizza, I’d never had anything like it before so I had them add some mozzarella and parmesan. It was awesome!

Here is my own version of it.

Ingredients

• Mini wholemeal pita
• Basil pesto
• Three cheese blend (cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan)
• Potato
• Spinach leaves
• Herbs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200 degree Celsius
   

   Step 3

2. Thinly slice a medium sized potato
3. Prepare some olive oil in a pan and add the potato slices
4. Start steaming the spinach leaves.
5. Add your favourite herb mix to the top of the potatoes and cook until the potatoes are soft (Cook a little longer if you want it crispy)
6. While the potato is cooking, base the mini pita’s with the basil pesto (I used a regular sized Pita in this one, the store was sold out)
7. ADD THE CHEESE NOW
8. Once the potato and spinach is cooked to your liking add it to your pizza

9. 

   Step 9

   Top with a little more cheese and herbs

10. Pop in the oven for 10 minutes (or until cheese is starting to brown)

Healthy Pizza Recipe

For a while I have been watching the cooking episodes on ProAtCooking.com mostly for the humour, rather than the recipes. You will see what I mean if you watch the episode below.

Tonight I decided that I just couldn’t resist the mouthwatering pizza recipe that Dave has cooked up. There are three pizza’s to make, 2 vegetarian and 1 with meat.

Now seeing as how delicious it was (it is currently in my belly), I thought I’d share it with you lot.

Watch it here:

A few notes on my experience:

I picked up some wholemeal tortilla’s for the based. There was no mini wholemeal pita’s in the supermarket I stopped off in. These turned out to work really well, just like thin crust pizza.

I also used tomato rather than red capsicum as I didn’t happen to have any red capsicum in the fridge.You will be happy to know that they still tasted great.

Make sure you cook the vegetables properly beforehand as this really makes an impact on the taste of the end product. Also you don’t want crunchy zucchini on your pizza.

Don’t add too much cheese, otherwise you will smoother your pizza and it will not cook all the way through. It will also give the pizza a lighter feel, meaning that you will not feel sluggish and sleepy afterwards. This is a great meal to have after a hard workout.

Overall this took about 20 minutes from start to in my mouth.
