EASY MEDITERRANEAN PIZZA



Easy Mediterranean Pizza image

This is a great recipe for a different kind of pizza. It's heavy on the flavors, but you don't feel stuffed after eating it. The recipe was actually born of an experiment performed by myself and a friend on a Sunday night. Be creative, though... last time I made it, I spread pine nuts over the surface and it was terrific!

MEDITERRANEAN PIZZAS



Mediterranean Pizzas image

Love to entertain and recently was given Martha Stewart's Hor D'Oeuvres Handbook. Most people eat first with their eyes and Martha's fantabulous dishes offer a visual feast. This original recipe was modeled on her approach to food both in look and flavor. You can simplify the making of these Greek inspired treats by simply quartering the pita bread or using the small ones. Either way, its a treat.

Time 1h10m

Yield 24 mini-pizzas, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large pita breads
1 pint grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
16 kalamata olives, pitted and quartered
2 -3 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves removed (Greek oregano is even better)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Wash and halve grape tomatoes and mix in shallow baking dish with coarse salt and olive oil. Bake 35 minutes until roasted. You can do this the day before if you like.
  • Using a 2 inch round cookie cutter, cut mini pizza crusts out of the pita bread. You should get about 4 mini pizzas per pita. Place pitas on cookie sheet. Top with tomato halves, olives and a leaf or two of oregano. Crumble feta cheese on top. Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted. The pitas will be crisp. Serve from the oven or at room temperature.
  • Variation:.
  • If you like garlic, wrap a whole unpeeled head of garlic in aluminum foil and roast with the tomatoes. When done the garlic will be very tender and easily squeeze out of the skin. Mash the roasted garlic and mix with a tablespoon of yogurt cheese or cream cheese. Spread a very thin layer on the bread before assembling pizza.

MEDITERRANEAN PIZZA



Mediterranean Pizza image

This is a bit different than your traditional pizza but it is super tasty. I always add a tin of anchovy fillets apprz 8 filets to the tin) but that's up to you - It does make you thirsty!!! If you want the best thin crust ready made get a "Boboli "- fantastic. Use the oil from the anchovies (if using) to saute the onions & green peppers. You may also use sundried tomatoes in oil just drain well (I like these). Enjoy

1 medium thin pizza crust
3/4 cup dry sun-dried tomato
3/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 large green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
3 teaspoons capers
1/4 cup black olives, chopped
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Place oven rack on second from the bottom rung.
  • Preheat oven to 475ƒ.
  • Take out your pizza stone or pizza pan.
  • Soak the dry sundried tomatoes in boiling hot water for 5 min, drain and coarsely chop (if using Sun dried in oil just drain well & chop) Saute the onion in the 3/4 tsp of oil for 3 minutes. Add the chopped peppers for another 2 minutes
  • If your pizza is unbaked prick it with a fork and place on pizza stone or pan- bake for 5 minutes at 475, remove from oven. If you are using a Boboli or other baked ready crust it is ready to build your pizza. When your crust is ready evenly distribute the Sundried tomatoes on the shell , then the sauted onions green pepper , add capers. olives and top with the crumbled feta, If using anchovies (I recommend you do) place them so you have an anchovy per slice. Decorate with sliced olives some pimento or what ever you have on hand
  • Bake until the edges are brown and the Feta is soft and browning apprx 20 min - but watch it!
