Ingredients:
  • 1 Large Plain Naan Bread
  • 1 tin sliced black olives
  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes
  • Diced onion
  • Tomato Puree
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Half-fat Mozarella Cheese
This recipe is a favourite of mine and takes only 20 minutes to make from start to finish, including preparation time.

Add some olive oil to the pan and heat. Fry onions lightly until soft. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and the sliced olives. Heat and stir for a few minutes, adding herbs and seasoning to taste (I added some dried basil for a touch more flavour - you could also add some Tabasco sauce for a piquant bite). Add 1 or 2 tbsps more olive oil, enough to mix through the sauce. Leave to simmer.

Lightly toast the naan in the oven, using a small oven tray.

Once toasted, spread your tomato sauce over the naan, taking care not to spill over the edges. Take your mozarella and tear into small pieces. Scatter over the top of your pizza. Place under the grill until the cheese has melted and the egdes of the Naan are beginning to brown.

Add the fresh basil leaves and any further seasoning you require.

Pour a 250ml glass of your favourite white wine. Enjoy! :yes:
