Pizza for supper
We fancied having pizza on Thursday evening so spent an enjoyable thirty minutes assembling ingredients – spelt pizza base, chorizo, anchovies, dill pickles, capers, cherry tomatoes, sliced tomatoes, olives, grated cheese, sliced cheese.
The finished article was very tasty, though also rather saltier than we’re accustomed to. I haven’t included a photograph of it – it tasted better than it looked. 😉
Yum. It sounds really delicious
ReplyDeleteIt was good.
DeletePizza is my favorite food. Dill pickles are an interesting addition; I've not tried that.
ReplyDeleteWe don't often have pizza, but really like it. We should have had salad with it, too. That would have counteracted the saltiness.
DeleteYES 😊 When you cannot be bothered cooking, or washing up heaps of cutlery and crockery, pizza is the perfect alternative. Buy the base in the supermarket, add cheese tomato olives and whatever you want, then bake. One pyrex base and one sharp knife to clean :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it's all good:-)
DeleteThe pizza sounds yummy. 'Helping' in the kitchen is one of my favourite activities. I have no idea why Gail is insisting that, as in your post, the word helping should in this context be enclosed in inverted commas...
ReplyDeleteToodle-oo!
Nobby.
I'm sure you're a great help in the kitchen, Nobby. Preparing meals wouldn't be the same without a dog.
DeleteKill the anchovies, and I would be there to help you eat. Anchovies are very salty, salt in cheese and I expect a good amount in chorizo. I never add salt and home cooked meals never have added salt, so I am quite sensitive to salt. I doesn't worry me, but I am quite aware of salt in food.
ReplyDeleteI never add salt when cooking, either, or at the table.
DeleteI'm biased of course...being Sicilian...
ReplyDeleteSo traditional Sicilian pizza is often thick-crusted and
rectangular...Topped with Onions, Anchovies, tomatoes,
herbs and strong cheese such as Caciocavallo...!
And...The Sicilian methods of making pizza are linked
to local culture and country traditions, so there are
differences in preparing pizza among the Sicilian
provinces of Palermo, Catania, Syracuse and Messina...!

PS...
I love loads of anchovies on me pizzas....With a glass or
two of Chianti Ruffino...of course...! Saluti..! :O)
Sounds delicious:-)
DeleteI thought it was a moon picture, lol before I read your post ! There are many versions of who invented the Pizza, the one I knew in Italy was, that it was the dish for the poors in Calabria, who threw nothing away but put everything eatable and suitable on a round dough and made very cheap, but tasty meal for the whole family ! And now it exists all over the world !
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how one poor man's meal can be another man's choice, in different countries.
DeleteI'm glad to let you have the anchovies, but the rest sounds delicious. And why photograph something so yummy when it was quickly gone.
ReplyDeleteI'm not great at photographing food. I usually forget!
ReplyDeleteHi Janice - sounds good ... I love those ingredients ... for some reason I'm not so keen on a pizza - not sure why ... I'll opt for a calzone though - or some spaghetti ... I am having a salmon bake - using things from the fridge - so they don't go to waste ... as I'm out a bit over the weekend - Happy chocolate days to the family! cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, Hilary. Enjoy your weekend.
DeleteSounds very tasty indeed - and now I'm craving pizza!
ReplyDeleteWe do have a helper in the kitchen too. Bess would have been begging for bits of cheese! xxx
Cats just love cheese, don't they? x x x
DeleteWe do like a homemade pizza. Years ago I learned that some wafer thing slices of lemon (baked onto the pizza) can balance out ths salt of anchovies and capers (and the lumps of feta we like to add to ours). I know lemon on pizza sounds weird but try it.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds an excellent idea and we will certainly try it. Thank you.
DeleteHaven't had pizza for quite a while, yours sounds good.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It was good for a change.
