Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Yield Makes 48 wedges

Number Of Ingredients 13

Fresh Basil, thinly sliced
4 whole-wheat pita breads (each 7 1/2 inches)
1 yellow bell pepper, seeds and membranes removed, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
3 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch dice
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
One half 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped
1/4 cup tomato paste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the tomato sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion and garlic are browned, about 4 minutes. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, bay leaf, chopped tomatoes, and tomato paste. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the sauce is thick, about 35 minutes.
  • Assemble the pizzas: Arrange pita breads on two baking sheets. Spread about 6 tablespoons tomato sauce on each. Scatter strips of yellow bell pepper on top, and then sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Transfer the baking sheets to the oven, and bake the pizzas until the peppers begin to wilt and the mozzarella has melted, about 20 minutes. Remove the pizzas from the oven, and transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with basil, andcut each pita pizza into 12 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

VEGETABLE PITA PIZZAS



Vegetable Pita Pizzas image

Categories     Tomato     Broil     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Mozzarella     Bell Pepper     Gourmet     Small Plates

Yield Makes 4 pizzas, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

two 6-inch whole-wheat pita loaves
3 tablespoons olive oil plus addition for brushing the pita rounds
1 1/3 cups grated mozzarella
1 small red onion, sliced thin
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small red bell pepper, sliced thin
1 small green bell pepper, sliced thin
3/4 cup thinly sliced zucchini
4 mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
2/3 cup chopped seeded fresh tomato
3 tablespoons shredded fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Halve the pita loaves horizontally to form 4 rounds, arrange the rounds, rough sides up, on a baking sheet, and brush the tops lightly with the additional oil. Sprinkle the rounds with salt to taste and toast them in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 5 minutes, or until they are pale golden and crisp. Sprinkle half the mozzarella onto the rounds and bake the rounds for 1 minute, or until the mozzarella is melted. While the rounds are toasting, in a large skillet cook the onion and the garlic in the remaining 3 tablespoons oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the bell peppers, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 4 minutes, or until the peppers are softened. Add the zucchini, the mushrooms, the oregano, and salt and pepper to taste and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the zucchini is softened. Stir in half the remaining mozzarella and divide the mixture among the rounds, mounding it slightly. Top the rounds with the remaining mozzarella, the tomato, the basil, and the Parmesan and broil the rounds under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 3 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pizza will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and high-quality cheese.
  • Make your own dough: Making your own dough is easy and only takes a few minutes. Plus, it tastes so much better than store-bought dough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza: When adding toppings to your pizza, don't overload it. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook.
  • Cook the pizza at a high temperature: The higher the temperature, the crispier the crust will be. Cook the pizza at the highest temperature your oven will allow.
  • Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing: Letting the pizza cool slightly before slicing will help prevent the toppings from sliding off.

Conclusion:

Garden pita pizzas are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer or snack. With a variety of toppings to choose from, there is a garden pita pizza for everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy meal, give garden pita pizzas a try!
