Spinach Pizza
Ingredients
- 2 large bunches of spinach (or silverbeet, I still can't eat silverbeet - bad childhood memories)
- 2 small red onions (or 1 large)
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- Olive oil
- Freshly ground pepper
- tomato paste or puree or passata
- Pizza base: I use whatever I have on hand i.e pita bread cut in two; Turkish bread; make your own or buy from shop - this works well with thin base
- Toasted pine nuts
- Cheese of your choice: ricotta, mozzarella, blue cheese for example
Method
- Heat a glug (or 1 tbsp) olive oil in pan over a low-medium heat.
- While that's heating up, slice onion and crush garlic.
- Saute over a low heat until onion is soft. I sometimes throw a knob of butter in (love that smell of onions & garlic cooking).
- Wash spinach and chop roughly. I remove any thick stalks if not using baby spinach. Add to onions & garlic mixture in handfuls. Once one handful has wilted add the next.
- Depending on how much spinach you are using - and I like to use as much as possible - this process can take around 30 minutes.
- Keep the temperature low as you want to caramelize the mixture.
- Toast pine nuts in a saucepan over low heat until golden.
- Prepare pizza bases (halve pita bread if using) and cover with tomato paste & freshly ground pepper.
- Spread spinach mixture over bases then cover with cheese of choice & sprinkle over nuts
- Bake for around 10-15 minutes in an oven that's been pre-heated to 180oC until cheese melts & base is golden. Enjoy!
