So the summer is here and with it is an abundance of tomatoes in the kitchen. Forgive me if the next couple of posts are mainly tomato related. Tonight I decided to be adventurous and cook up a homemade pizza, everything from scratch.
Sauce:
- 20 to 30 garden fresh cherry tomatoes
- 1 small can tomato paste
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped sweet onion
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Basil
- Crushed red pepper
I kind of winged it and just let everything simmer together on low heat until I was ready to make the pizza.
For the crust I followed the instruction on a pizza yeast packet.
As for the top of the pizza it is a combination of farmer's market green and red peppers. I wish you could smell the peppers. As soon as I cut into them I could smell the crisp, sweetness within. Along with the peppers is some sliced mushrooms and chopped sweet onion. I'm sure there are more veggies in the fridge that could go along but what would I have to eat for the rest of the week?
