They like them with a very thin, crispy pastry base rather than a yeast bread base."

Time 28m

Yield 2 for lunch (or one really hungry person for a main, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 sheet shortcrust pastry (savoury, frozen or freshly made)
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (paste or finely chop them)
1 fresh chili pepper (deseeded and finely chopped)
1 teaspoon lemongrass (finely chopped)
200 g crabmeat (cooked and shredded)
1 lime
50 g mozzarella cheese
1 cup rocket
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Roll the pastry to 1/4"/5mm.
  • Mix the finely chopped chilli with the sun-dried tomato paste or finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes and spread all over the pastry. Look for the tubs of sun-dried tomato pesto beside the regular basil pesto in the fridge section of your supermarket. It makes a great tasty pizza sauce.
  • Bake in a hot oven (200C or 400F) for 8 minutes.
  • Zest and juice the lime.
  • Combine the shredded crab meat, lime zest, lemongrass and a little of lime juice.
  • Slice the mozzarella into about 6 slices.
  • Remove the pastry from the oven and scatter the crab mixture and mozzarella slices over the top. Add a grind of black pepper and salt to taste.
  • Put back in the oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
  • To serve, scatter the rocket over the pizza while still hot. Thin the mayonnaise with the rest of the lime juice and drizzle over the rocket.
