tomato

Beautiful green tomatos from boobies garden..

I wish I had some of these for the pizza I made a few days later .. had to settle for some trader joes colorful heirloom tomato minis instead ..

sundried tomato pesto pizza + artichokes, kalamata olives and pancetta

for the pesto

16 oz. of canned sundried tomatos (with oil)

1 cup of fresh basil leaves

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoone tomato paste

1/2 cup of water

1 tsp chili flakes

for the pizza

prepared pizza dough (from trader joes or whole foods)

mozzarella

pancetta, sliced

chopped artichokes (marinated)

kalamata olives, halved

cherry tomatoes, sliced

pine nuts

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Roll out the pizza dough and place onto two greased pans. Bake the pizza dough for about 7-8 minutes, or until turning a slight golden brown. Remove from oven.

In the mean time, heat the garlic and red chili flakes in a little bit of olive oil. Add the sundried tomatos, tomato paste and water. Simmer for about 4 minutes. Add the basil, then transfer to a food processor and blend. Pesto should be a slightly chunky.

Spread the pesto onto the par-baked pizza dough, add mozzarella and all toppings and bake for another 10 minutes until ready.

DELICIOUS.
