Healthy pizza two ways




Recipe : Pizza two ways
Crust recipe : click here

For the whole pizza
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp dried oregano
a good few twists of black pepper
1 tin of plum tomatoes, drained, squeezed of their juice and torn into pieces.

Topping 1 (for half of the pizza)
2 cups of mixed greens, (such as kale, chard, spinach), washed, dried and shredded
3 anchovy fillets from a tin or jar, broken into small pieces
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
a good few drizzles of olive oil
1 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped

Topping 2 (for the other half of the pizza)
1/2 bell pepper, seeded and sliced finely
4 mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 chili pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 chorizo sausage, sliced thinly and fried in oil until very crispy
2 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
a few black olives
1/2 cup grated Cheddar
a good few drizzles of olive oil

See here for the instructions on how to make the pizza base.
Brush the base all over with the oil and sprinkle with the oregano and black pepper. 
Place the tomato pieces evenly all over the base. (If I could change one thing, I would have used tomato sauce instead, whether home made or from a jar. This would have covered all of the base instead of leaving some areas 'bald', so, if you want to use tomato pizza sauce, please do).

 
For greens and anchovy half:
Spread the greens evenly over half the pizza, dot with the anchovy pieces, sprinkle over the oregano, Parmesan cheese and olive oil.

For chorizo half:
Sprinkle with the bell pepper and mushrooms, garlic and chili pepper. Lay the chorizo slices evenly over the half and then add the oregano, cheese and olives and drizzle everything with the oil.

Bake the pizza at 500oF for about 12 - 15 minutes until the base is crispy and brown, the cheeses melted and the greens crisp and toasty.
