zucchini, mint, and chilli pizzetta

Taken from the Polpo cookbook, pizzettas are simple and quick to make. This recipe redefines pizza as there is no tomato or garlic and they are unbelievably delicious.

Serves 1.

Ingredients:
1 ball of pre-made dough (see pizzetta dough recipe)
1 small handful of grated block mozzarella
1 small handful of finely grated Parmesan
Zucchini very finely sliced
Half a red chilli, de-seeded and finely sliced
Olive oil
4-6 mint leaves finely chopped

mozzarella pizzaiola

This recipe is from the Polpo cookbook and the only change I’ve made is that I’ve added maple syrup instead of the sugar. The salad dressing is made in the oven with the roasting tomatoes and takes on their flavour. Yum.

Serves 4.

Ingredients:
A punnet( approx 500g) of cherry or plum tomatoes
Olive oil
Red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
A handful of chopped fresh oregano leaves
4 x 125 g mozzarella balls
Salad leaves
Salt and pepper
