Zucchini Pizza, Take Two


After I brought out my Lemon Zucchini Chevre Pizza - and after the boys each ate a slice - Riley, very politely, asked if I had any more dough and could I make a version without the chevre. I knew it wasn't a mini-boy favorite when I made it, but went with it anyway.

So, I asked what kind of cheese he would like me to use and he walked over to the fridge: Can you use this shaved parmesan and romano instead? I like everything else.

"Can you skip the black pepper, too?" piped up the littlest Mann.

Fine. More leftover chevre for my lunch and Daddy's lunch tomorrow. Here's take two of the zucchini pizza tonight. It's a good thing this dough is fast.

Quick and Easy Pizza Dough
1 T active dry yeast
1 T organic granulated sugar
1 C warm water
3 C white whole wheat flour
1/2 C ground almonds
2 T olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let bloom until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour, ground almonds, and oil. Beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Press dough - with floured fingers - onto baking stone. 

Toppings
1 organic Meyer lemon
4 oz goat cheese, at room temperature
3 handfuls of shaved parmesan and romano cheese
handful of fresh cilantro, thinly sliced
freshly ground sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
drizzle of olive oil
2 yellow zucchini, thinly sliced

Juice and zest lemon. Spread 2 handfuls of the cheese and cilantro over the pizza dough. Layer the zucchini and sprinkle with more cheese and a generous amount of freshly sea salt. Bake in preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with more cheese, if you have any, drizzle with a bit more olive oil, the lemon juice, and the zest.

The boys were thrilled!

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
