Cherry Tomato and Pesto Pizza

Cook time: 25 minutes,  Serves 2

With this delicious veggie pizza you’ll create a flavoursome homemade pesto and herby tomato pizza sauce for an authentic Italian kick, spread a generous helping of both on your flame baked pizza bases, then top with cherry tomatoes and a hearty Italian cheese.

Ingredients

• 20g basil
• 125g cherry tomatoes
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 garlic clove
• 35g Grated Italian hard cheese
• 125g ball of mozzarella
• 4 tbsp tomato paste
• 2x personal pizza bases

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 390°F/ Gas 6. Put a large baking tray in the oven to heat up (this will stop the pizza bottoms from going soggy!)
2. Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic. Add the tomato paste to a bowl with the chopped garlic and a generous pinch of salt, pepper and sugar. Add 5 tbsp cold water and give everything a good mix up – this is your tomato base
3. Drain and pat the mozzarella dry with kitchen paper (squeeze as much liquid out as you can!). Tear the drained mozzarella into rough, bite-sized pieces
4. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half
5. Remove the heated tray from the oven and add the pizza bases. Divide the tomato base between the pizza bases and spread it evenly all over them with the back of a spoon
6. Top the pizzas with the ripped mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle over the dried oregano. Put the tray in the oven for 12-15 min or until the cheese has melted and the bases are crisp – these are your cherry tomato pizzas.
7. Meanwhile, chop the basil roughly. Add the chopped basil to a pestle & mortar with a pinch of salt and a splash of cold water and grind to a paste. Add the grated Italian hard cheese and 3 tbsp olive oil – this is your pesto
8. Serve the cherry tomato pizzas with the baby leaf salad to the side. Dollop the pesto over the pizzas – and hey pesto, you’re done!
