Pizza Toppings

Everybody at one point or another have made thier own Pizza. This doesnt mean making your own dough - although I have to say, I've never tried but I'm keen to one day.

Here's a few things that I like to throw on top of a Pizza, bung into the Oven and eaten with a nice Glass of Red Wine, Winter Stylie :-)

Mediterrean Pizza-Topping

Ingredients:
Already made Pizza Bases can be found in very nice Deli's
Tomato Paste/Puree
Motzorella Cheese
Handful of Fresh Basil
1/2 Cup pitted Kalamata Olives
1/4 Cup Home-Made Pesto (please see under home made dips)
1/4 Cup Sun-dried Tomatoes
10 Button Mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1/2 Red Onion
2 Cloves Garlic
2 Small Red Chilli's (seeds removed if your preference is not to have all the spice)

Method:
Spread the tomato puree/paste over the base of the Pizza. Place drops of the pesto over the base, add the olives, thinly sliced sundried tomatoes, 1/2 red onion thinly sliced, garlic, mushrooms and chilli. Finally add the Motzorella cheese and bake in a preheated Oven on 180 Degrees for 15 minutes. Remove and add the Fresh Basil and bake for a further 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven, slice using a Pizza slice if you have one, if not a sharp knife and hand out with small serving plates and a nice glass of red wine..
