Pizza doesn't have to mean the cheese and tomato, try out something a bit more elegant with this tasty lamb and pumpkin mixture.
Ingredients:- 500g butternut pumpkin, cut into 2cm cubes
- 2 x 30cm bought fresh or frozen pizza bases
- 1 x 300g jar tomato salsa
- 160g (2 cups) coarsely grated cheddar
- 80g (1/2 cup) pitted kalamata olives, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 400g lamb strips
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Baby rocket leaves, to serve
Method:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 220°C. Cook the pumpkin in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 8 minutes or until just tender. Drain well.
Step 2
Place the pizza bases on 2 baking trays and spread with salsa. Sprinkle with cheese, pumpkin and olives. Bake in preheated oven, swapping trays halfway through cooking, for 12-15 minutes or until cheese melts and is light golden. Remove from oven.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add half the lamb and half the oregano, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until brown and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining lamb and oregano.
Step 4
Top pizzas with lamb mixture and sprinkle with rocket. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
