Margherita Pizza at home in 10 minutes

Midnight cravings for a pizza

It was after having some guests over tonight, I was thinking about starting to write my today's blog post. Laid on the couch, got the notebook, turned on the TV, and all of a sudden I got the cravings for a margherita pizza at 1:30 AM...Didn't feel like ordering Domino's or some other shitty pizza delivery, so decided to have a quicky...( no not that way !) I mean making a pizza with everyday ingredients I had in my kitchen and took me about ten minutes to cook it. No hassle of making a dough, cooking the sauce, heating the oven and the rest of mambo jumbo. Don't forget, simple life, simple love, simple food...

If you have these in handy, then you are all set:

A sauce pan
Turkish Tortilla (Lavash)
Shaved Mozzarella or any other cheese
Ground tomato (I always have it ready in the fridge)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt & Pepper
Fresh basil

Get on it !

Take your saucepan and place it over your stove with medium heat. Put the tortilla in it and let it rest in there for about 3-5 minutes keep on turning the sides with the help of a pair of toggles.
,

Now you are ready to spread your tomato sauce (simply grinded tomatoes) over the tortilla. Use a big wooden spoon to accomplish this, and try to avoid tearing off your tortilla.

Let it heat up a bit...the trick to know when its ready to place the shaved cheese is, when the tomato juice starts drying over the tortilla. Now you can place your beautiful shaved Mozzarella on, and let them sit there for about another 3-5 minutes.

Go over it with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and grind some fresh black pepper...Let it sit on the heat for another 1-2 minutes. Voila !!!! You are done with a delicious, fresh, and healthy Margherita Pizza at home under 15 minutes.

Dress it up with some fresh basil .... Enjoy !
Because I sure did, before this blog was posted....an its almost 2AM :)
