Momma's Summer Pizza

Momma's summer Pizza in the frozen hills of Scotland.

Its freezing. My toes are cold, it hammered down raining last night and we all walked back from the pub to the hostel and then Will and I had to go on to his place from there. Everything was soaked and still damp the next day, which is when the snow came.

Like an unwanted family of mice, the damp cold has crawled into the walls of my body and decided to take up residence. Its damp Scotland cold. I thought I'd make a dish that would remind me of warm summers in Canada.

Prebaked pizza goodness 


This recipe is from my mother, and it is now a family favourite back home, trouncing the ever classic pepperoni. I blame all the cheese.

The back porch back home, one of the many awesome places to sit and eat fabulous asparagus and cheese pizza.

Its very Mediterranean, or to me it tastes that way.

Its a pretty easy thing to make, and good for those who want to do a nice pizza but just haven't got around to learning how to make those scratch pizza bases everyone goes on about.
Ingredients:

Pizza Base
Garlic Basil Pesto
Feta Cheese
Mozzarella Cheese
Asparagus

Partially cook your asparagus in a frying pan with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Set it aside. Take your pizza base and evenly spread pesto over. Don't make it to thick, there's lots of tastes competing in this dish. Next add crumbled or sliced feta cheese then slices of mozzarella. Then place your asparagus over top and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

Its thaaaat easy!


And the finish result should look something like this.....

Recipe does not come with candle, or drinks. 
Food victory tea.
