How good are Australian asparagus at the moment! I had a delicious delivery at the start of September {actually I was lucky enough to get two deliveries – score} and I have been packing them into all my recipes since. This is a delicious recipe for a couple of little cheat’s pizzas, as I use a pita bread as the base, rather then making actual pizza dough {but I am sure you can forgive me at 39 weeks pregnant}.
I also feel like if my boys have had a slice or two of this delicious pizza for lunch then I don’t have to worry about what veggies are going into their mouths at dinner time {because this veggie pizza sure does punch a vitamin punch}.
The asparagus really are a high light of this dish – think light and crispy and nothing of the asparagus of the 80s that came in a can. Although now I do have a weird pregnancy craving for canned asparagus and cheese melted on toast – don’t tell me you didn’t eat that as a child of the 80s.
Apart from popping these fresh asparagus on to delicious pizzas. We also enjoy asparagus in; soups, salads, omelette, frittata, quiches, tarts, risotto, pasta, burgers, wraps, bruschetta, fritters, dips and pesto – so why not pick up a bunch at your local markets and get creative with it.
Or just come back in a few days time and find another awesome asparagus recipe here at GoodFoodWeek.
VEGETARIAN CHEAT’S PIZZAS
400 grams of potato
1 red onion
125 grams of button mushrooms
2 grams of thyme
1 bunch of asparagus
50 grams of cheese
2 roma tomatoes
1 tbsp of butter
2 large pita breads
Salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Toss the thinly sliced potatoes, red onions and thyme in a little salt and pepper and then spread evenly over a baking dish. Roast for 10 minutes or until slightly brown.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and top with thinly sliced asparagus, whole button mushrooms and a few dollops of butter. Roast for another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes and grate the cheese.
Assemble the pizzas by topping the pita breads with the mixed roast veggies, fresh tomato slices and the grated cheese. Bake for 5-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the pita bread is crisp.
