For the month of November I wanted to share with you a pizza recipe that is easy to prep, yummy and pretty well balanced.
Cedric’s “Veggie Pizza”
Make 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust (I like the 365 Organic Pizza Crust from Whole Foods)
- 1 red onion
- 1/2 pound of broccoli
- 2/3 pound of mushroom
- 2 zucchinis
- Mozzarella cheese
- Tomato paste
- Salt
Main cookware and baking ustencils
- 1 16 inches pizza pan
- 1 frying pan
- 1 saucepan
Preparation
Take out the crust from the freezer (if applicable).
Pre heat the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit
Step A: the veggies
1. Poor water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to boil.
2. Slice then add the broccoli, reduce the heat and let them cook and become tender for 8-10 minutes.
3. Drain the broccoli and reserve them in a bowl.
4. Peel, slice and chopped the onion.
5. In the frying pan, poor some olive oil and warm it up. When the olive oil is hot, add the onion, a bit of salt and cook the onion m slowly (meaning on medium heat) until golden.
6. Wash the mushrooms and slice it.
7. Add the mushrooms to the frying pan. Keep cooking them slowly with the onions.
8. Wash, peel and slice the zucchinis.
9. Add the zucchinis to the frying pan. Keep cooking them slowly with the rest of the preparation until soft.
Step B: assembling the pizza
1. Spread a bit a olive oil on the crust.
2. Cover the crust with the tomato paste.
3. Spread the content of the frying span into the crust.
4. Add the broccoli.
5. Spread the cheese on top of the toppings.
6. Put in the over for about 13-15 minutes (check the cooking instruction of your crust if you are not using the one I’ve recommend). Make sure the cheese keep is texture and doesn’t burn.
Serving suggestion
- This pizza goes well along with a salad.
Cedric’s tip
- You can make the pizza very crispy if you keep in for 1 to 2 minutes in the oven, on the upper rack while turning the broil on. Make sure to watch it carefully as you don’t want the pizza to burn with the broiler.
- If you bake this pizza for your own, slice it, keep in warm in the oven and just take one slice at a time :-)
Bon appétit!
