PITTA PIZZAS
Pitta breads make wonderful pizza bases that can be loaded with toppings before being baked until golden.
4 white pitta breads 4 tbsp tomato purée 4 chestnut mushrooms, sliced 2 tbsp jarred artichokes in olive oil
1 tbsp pine nuts Half tsp dried oregano Drizzle of olive oil
1 Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7. Arrange the pitta breads on a baking tray and spread one side with the tomato purée. 2 Press the mushrooms onto the tomato purée. Shake off any excess oil from the artichokes and roughly slice them, then lay them onto the pittas.
3 Scatter over the pine nuts and oregano, then drizzle with oil. Bake for 10 mins until the base is golden.
