Dinner: Pesto Mayo Pizza

A vegetarian diet-friendly pizza.

Ingredients

3 oz gruyere cheese, grated
1 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsps light mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
5 1/2 oz passata
2 cups rocket
1/2 oz pesto (1 tsp)
9 oz pizza dough

Instructions

1. Make up the dough mix according to pack directions and roll out to a 30cm (12") round and place on a greased baking sheet. Alternatively, just buy a ready-made pizza base.

2. Brush the base with 1 teaspoon oil and spoon the passata over the surface. Scatter with garlic, oregano, rocket and cheese. Mix the mayonnaise with the pesto and place spoonfuls over the filling.

3. Cover loosely with a oiled polythene bag and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes.

4. Remove the bag and drizzle with remaining oil. Bake in preheated oven 200 °C, (425 °F), for 15-20 minutes and serve with mixed salad.

5. Note: for the meat eaters, it's great with 2 oz prosciutto ham to add to the topping.
