A mouth-watering pizza with a light, crunchy base.

Suggestions:

If using fresh tomatoes, place in a bowl and pour boiling water over. Allow to stand 1-2 minutes.
Drain tomatoes and plunge into cold water. Skin should readily peel off.

Ingredients:

300 g tomatoes, fresh or tinned

1 Lebanese bread, large

3 spring onions, chopped

50 g green capsicum (1 small), chopped

1/4 tsp dried basil and oregano

1 tsp tomato paste, no added salt

45 g mushrooms, chopped

3 artichoke hearts, tinned

60 g mozzarella cheese, grated

Directions:

Chop tomatoes roughly.

Put tomatoes, spring onions, capsicum and spices in a non-stick pan.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Allow sauce to cool. Spread sauce over bread.

Add layer of mushroom and asparagus or chopped artichokes.
Top with grated cheese.

Bake for 15 minutes in a hot oven. Serve hot.

Variations:

Non-Vegetarian Pizza: Add chopped anchovies (6 thin fillets adds 15 calories per serve) or 2 slices lean ham, chopped (adds 20 calories per serve) to the topping.
