A Quick and Tasty Pizza

If you're in my neck of the woods chances are you haven’t left the house in the last 7 days - what is up with the 90-degree temps in early June - honestly it feels like mid-July it’s crazy!

I’ve been watering the veggie garden early every morning so that the plants have time to dry and not collect moisture (which happens when you water at night). Today I cut off the scapes from my garlic plants - I see garlic scape pesto in my future. The heat is really taking a toll on the grass, we’re keeping it longer and only watering in selective spots where it is dire. 

When it’s this hot I’m not motivated to cook nor am I really all that hungry. I found a recipe online for a quick naan bread pizza that takes about 12 - 14 minutes in the oven and has some of my favorite ingredients - blueberries, goat cheese, and onions - what could go wrong?

Dan is not usually a fan of sweet things for dinner but I didn't hear any complaints and there are no leftovers - so I'll take that as a win.

Ingredients:

2 - pieces of naan 

1 T olive oil

1 cup thinly sliced red onion 

salt 

a pinch of red pepper flakes 

2 T honey

1/2 cup fets

1/2 cup fig goat cheese 

1 cup blueberries 

A few basil or spinach leaves, thinly sliced

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place naan on the baking sheet, and brush with a little water. 

Place the olive oil and onions in a small pan and saute for 5 - 7 minutes until translucent. Add honey and stir until combined, Sprinkle a little salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes on the onions, turn off the heat, and set aside. 

Combine goat cheese and feta in a small bowl, use your fingers to mix together. Divide the cheese mixture between the two pieces of naan and spread out. Top with the onion mixture and add 1/2 cup blueberries to each pizza. 

Place the pizzas in the oven and bake for 13 - 14 minutes until the blueberries are just about to burst. Remove from oven and top with shredded basil/spinach. 

Slice and enjoy with a crisp glass of wine.
