A pizza recipe invented based on what I had in the kitchen at the time.
Ingredient amounts should be whatever feels right as you're preparing it...
- Use a standard pizza dough for the base, such as this great hand made dough or your basic bread machine recipe.
- Don't pre-cook the base. Cover it in a thick sauce made of tomato puree, green pesto and ground pepper.
- Toast some cashew nuts and some pine nut kernels over a low heat in a dry fying pan.
- Finely chop one small onion, but don't fry it. Spread the raw chopped onion over the sauce, maybe mixing it in a little.
- Sprinkle the toasted nuts over the onion.
- Chop 3 or 4 sundried tomtoes into 5mm slices and sprinkle them over the nuts.
- Apply liberal amounts of grated mature cheddar.
Bake this at 200ºc for 15 minutes, and allow to cool for two or three before serving.
Verdict? Absolutely delicious! The sundried tomato is the secret ingredient, but the major flavour comes from the nuts. I shall be making this one again.
