How to make pizza with fresh vegetables

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F for at least 20 minutes before baking the pizza.
  • Strain the tomatoes through the medium hole of a food mill, scraping in all the pulp.
  • Peel the broccoli stems and asparagus, and blanch with the courgettes in a pan of boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Cut into bite-size pieces and slice the courgettes lengthways.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small saucepan.
  • Stir in the peas and spring onions and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat.
  • Spread the pursed tomatoes on to the pizza dough, leaving the rim uncovered.
  • Add the other vegetables, spreading them evenly over the tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle with the mozzarella, basil, garlic, salt and pepper and remaining olive oil.
  • Immediately place the pizza in the oven.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  • This pizza can be made with any combination of fresh vegetables. Most will benefit from being blanched or sauteed before being baked on the pizza.
