Natalie: Pesto-Fire Roasted Tomato-Curried Pizza!

PestoFireRoastedTomatoCurried Pizza

Its name wasn't the only mouthful here. At first, Katie was super skeptical about the amount of toppings and flavors busying our virgin pizza dough.



We attempted to incorporate an "artsy" aspect. Yup, that's our version of a bullseye.








Raw pizza slapped onto my hot ass pizza stone! Almost didn't fit, and a bitch to transfer from my wooden cutting board (as seen on upper left corner)

































Finished product! OM NOM. Success with the exception of a single semi charred crater!

Recreate this masterpiece? Depending on if you get creative with your pesto/tomato application, the measurements may vary. Yields enough for two teenagers. You'll need:

  • (Trader Joe's) Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
  • 3/4 cup Pesto Sauce (homemade recipe see below, or store-bought)
  • (Trader Joe's) 1/2 cup Fire Roasted Tomatoes
  • Handful of spinach
  • mustard greens (wish I had kale for this one!)
  • chopped grilled zucchini (or raw, I had leftovers from the Fourth)
  • chopped or sliced onion
Pesto:
  • Equal BIG handfuls of fresh basil and cilantro
  • 2 smallish smashed garlic cloves
  • 2 Tbs water
  • 2 Tbs toasted pinenuts
  • s&p to taste
Whir it up in your Magic Bullet!

Layer all ingredients, shove into a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, et voila!
