#InstaRecipe : Speedy Pizza


#InstaRecipe : Speedy Pizza
Takes: 30 mins Serves 4

 Pizza with a 15 minute dough- use whatever toppings you have around. Use a George Foreman Grill to pre-cook the ingredients for the topping and bake the dough. We used the smallest size, which is good for individual pizzas, but if you have a bigger grill you could use half the dough to make a larger pizza.


 Ingredients


Make the dough
 

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and leave to stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt and oil until smooth. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then place onto a floured surface and cut into 4 pieces.  


Prepare the toppings

Mix the ingredients for the sauce together. Chop and prepare the toppings, grilling those that need it.

Bake
 

Take the first ball of dough, shape to fill the grill and brush with a little oil. Place onto the grill, prop the lid slightly higher than the dough using a mug. Bake until bottom side is cooked.  Brush top with oil then turn over and put sauce and toppings on. Lower the lid and cook until cheese is melted and dough on the underside is cooked.

Repeat with three remaining balls of dough.

Radishes


Yesterday was radish day. We had three bunches from Bullring Outdoor Market for £1 and plenty of choices for recipes. We pickled two bunches, used their greens in soup and saved the third for salads, garnishes, to bake and other treats.  Read on for recipes...


Radish Top Soup- recipe from here

Melt some butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in one chopped onion, and saute until tender. Mix in two diced potatoes and about four cups of radish greens, coating them with the butter. Pour in chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes.

Allow the soup mixture to cool slightly, and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth.

Return the mixture to the saucepan. Mix in the heavy cream. Cook and stir until well blended. Serve with radish slices.




 Pickled Radishes - recipe adapted from here

Trim the greens off and wash about 30 radishes. Then slice thinly on a mandolin discarding both the ends. Cut about two inches of ginger into matchsticks and add to the radishes. Put them in the fridge whilst preparing the pickling liquid.

Combine below ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then pour over radish and ginger. Allow to sit for 30 minutes before putting in jars. Store in the  fridge.

1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 bay leaf per jar

I've been saving loads of recipes on my Pinterest Food board, next thing to try with the remaining radishes: roast them. Yum
