Crustless Pizza – Nigella Lawson

I was excited when I came across this recipe.  When, I read what was in it and how it was made, I had doubts about it coming out, like pizza, and I was correct.  It did turn out to be a delicious dish and I would make it again with a few changes.  I would put the vegetables in the batter and possibly add just a bit of oil.  I would start with half a tablespoon.

Crustless Pizza  (adapted from Nigella Kitchen by Nigella Lawson.)

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup gluten-free brown rice mixture
• Salt
• 1 cup milk
• Olive oil cooking spray Cheddar
• 1 tomato, sliced thin
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped

Method:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the flour, salt, to taste, and milk to make a smooth batter.  (Mine was slightly lumpy)

Spray a round ovenproof  dish, then stir half the grated cheese into the batter, before pouring it into the dish.

Bake for 30 minutes. Take the dish out of the oven, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and tomatoes, bell pepper and scallions. Return the dish to the oven and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes to make sure it’s heated through.

Once the cheese on top is melted  take it out of the oven and serve, cut into slices. A green  salad on the side would not be a bad idea…

Although, it is not like pizza, it makes a nice casserole.

Tomato Curry – Nigella

At my house, on Fridays, cooking is an all day affair or it seems to be.  I am cooking for the Jewish Sabbath and we eat quite a meal on Friday nights and a less complicated on for Saturday lunch and then a third lighter meal, later in the afternoon.  All and all, this calls for a variety of food.  I was looking for a quick side dish to go with the chicken, I had made for Friday night and I opened my book (Nigella’s Kitchen) and there was my dish, Tomato Curry.  This was served with a coconut rice which I did not make .  I had a rice dish already waiting to be served.  The Curry went fine with this, as well as, it must have gone with the coconut rice, which I want to make, at another time.

This is a tasty dish and I made it a bit tastier by adding some red pepper dip to it.  It also is good served cold and we served it for lunch, that way, on Saturday.
