Eggs and Beer
You know, I just realised that the WTF post I made below makes me look a bit strange because I went to by eggs and beer. Like I'm some kind of freak that makes egg and beer cocktails or something. I'm not a freak, and I'd be prepared to fight anyone who says I am. No, it's just my foody project at the moment is learning how to make a decent souffle and that means I need lots of eggs. Plus I like to drink beer, but that's unrelated.Speaking of food, there was a recipe in this months "Olive" magazine for making tortilla pizzas that was just wrong wrong wrong. They mucked about with things like rocket and peppers. If you are going to make a dead simple pizza, stick with the basic dead simple pizza ingredients: Cheese, tomato, basil.
Here's what they should have written
1) Put oven on at 200 degress.
2) Roast some vine ripened cherry tomatoes for 10 minutes in olive oil.
3) Remove from oven and roughly slice the tomatoes.
4) Put a tortilla on a baking tray and add the tomatoes with some sliced buffalo mozerella.
5) Bung in the oven till done (about 6 minutes).
6) Add some fresh basil leaves, lightly drizzle with olive oil.
Bread, cheese, tomato, basil and a little olive oil. Perfect.
Obviously if you are making a proper pizza, you would subsitute a tortilla for freshly made pizza dough. If you want to do that find yourself a recipe for a Neapolitan pizza base, or the slightly easier New York style thin base.
