i make a lot of pizza....at least once a week. i haven’t learned to make the crust from scratch yet (that’s like a real recipe! yikes!) but it’s the most fun way for me to throw odds and ends together to make something that’s pretty darn hard to mess up.
i had suggested pizza, because we had an open package with one crust left that i knew wouldn’t last long, but even i was verbally skeptical that we had anything to put on it. shame on me! i know better......
i had gotten a jar of alfredo sauce at the store recently, and then remembered i had also gotten some tofu...what else, what else, i thought.....sunflower seeds....chard and collards from the garden.....carrots, no.....cabbage, no.....leftover okra and baked eggplant.....garlic.....green onions.....cheese.....
well that was more than enough to convince me! confidence regained ;) i sauteed a yellow onion with most of a package of tofu (saving just enough to be able to do a little something with it if i need to this week) and a little butter and bragg’s. while that was cooking i went out and said hi to the chickens while i collected a few leaves of collards (making sure to thoroughly de-aphid them :).
i chopped up the baked slice of eggplant (not much but why not?) and added it into the mix with the leftover okra pepper stir fry from last night, making sure to remember a few cloves of minced garlic. all that went on the alfredo dressed pizza crust and into the oven.
it was really good! it had almost a sweet aroma to it, maybe from the butter and tofu combo? i sprinkled a little ground flaxseed and cracked salt on top, and ready....set......eat! :)
approximate price: $5
