About the blog

We are fortunate enough to have a produce delivery service that delivers seasonal, organic and local produce year-round. Our weekly menu is based on whatever items we happen to get that week, which always changes. This inspires a lot of creativity and improvising in our daily meals. While I tend to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, to me it is a relaxing experience and worth the effort. I hope you enjoy the recipes posted which are influenced from a variety of cultures!

Lavash Bread Margherita Pizza

 
This is a light, yet filling and tasty pizza on lavash bread that can be put together fairly quickly. 
Serves 1-2 people
Ingredients:
1 piece of lavash bread, about 10x15 inches
2 oz. goat cheese (about 2 solid Tbsp)
1/2-3/4 cup shredded Italian style cheese of your choice (mozzarella, Parmesan, etc.)
1-2 medium sized tomatoes
1-1/2 Tbsp fresh basil, sliced
1/4-1/2 tsp dried Italian herb mix
3/4 tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1-1/2 Tbsp olive oil

Preheat oven to 375F. Start by dicing tomatoes (if not organic tomatoes, peeling is a good idea too), place them in a colander and salt liberally, about 1/2 tsp.  Allow to sit for about 15 minutes while juices drain and flavors concentrate.  Meanwhile, carefully spread goat cheese evenly over lavash bread leaving a 1 inch edge for a crust. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of goat cheese.  Toss tomatoes with basil, herbs, remaining salt and red pepper flakes (if using) and spread evenly over cheeses.  Drizzle top with olive oil.  Bake on a jelly roll pan for about 10-15 minutes until edges becomes darker and pizza is crisp.  Enjoy!
