What? Food, not your boyfriend or girlfriend either. Something you can make them that will keep them around a bit longer.
World's simplest pizza substitute. Pizza is a flat bread, every culture on earth (or most) have a flat bread, a pita, crepe, pancake, tart, tortilla. Usually plain ol' flour but can be whatever the tradition expects. In California, Southwest US, I'd make this with the common Flour Tortilla, you're selection may vary. It's ok, get a couple, depending on size maybe two per person, maybe not if they are big.
So here's a sample ingredient list:
4 - 8" Flour Tortillas
1 Tbs Olive Oil
Common Button Mushrooms sliced very thin (1/16th inch thin!) and pretty like a mushroom should look.
1 Medium Lump Buffalo Mozzerella Cheese, Jack Cheese, or any other melting cheese you like.
A pinch of Salt.
Sprinkle of Pepper or Red Pepper Flakes
Lay out the tortilla(s)
Brush one side with Olive Oil.
Lay a careful layer of the mushroom slices leave a bit of room between them.
Slice the cheese into 1/2" lumps and randomly distribute them over the top.
Apply salt and pepper.
Place dressed tortillas on a cookie sheet 4" under broiler or oven top burner. Turn on highest heat. Watch carefully...when the cheese begins to melt and bubble you are done, done, done. Remove, cut with a pizza cutter or a pair of scissors, eat!
Oh my how simple and delicious this is, thanks to Jamie Oliver for the timely hint. He's a genius!
Obviously the variations are expected. Substitute eggplant, anchovies, the thinnest of tomato slices and different cheeses, it's good, very good, easy and quick. Have fun with this one.
