Refrigerator Pizza


This is my favourite pizza.  It's called refrigerator pizza because I was looking in my refrigerator one night and this is what I had lying around.  The combination of ingredients is so tasty that I now use these toppings every time!

Refrigerator Pizza

Makes about 2 large pizzas and one little pizza

Ingredients:
  • 500 g mushrooms sliced
  • 1 red capsicum sliced thinly  
  • 1 red onion sliced thinly 
  • 3 cups of raw spinach 
  • cherry tomatoes   
  • Grated parmesan cheese  
  • Feta cheese 
  • Grated mozzarella cheese

What you do: 

Make your pizza crust dough and bake the crust ahead of time (or use store bought).  Then preheat the oven, and pizza stone if using, to 500° (260 C) while you prepare the toppings.

Sauté the vegetables in a couple of teaspoons of olive oil while the crust bakes (I like to use garlic olive oil, but that's not essential)

Assemble the pizza as follows:
  • Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of good quality olive oil over the pre-cooked crust.
  • Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the drizzle of olive oil. 
  • Spread the sautéed vegetables, one by one, over the pizza.  Their order doesn’t matter.  
  • To finish off the pizza and to prevent the topping from burning, crumble the feta cheese over everything and then end with the mozzarella cheese.
Place the pizza in the 500° (260 C) oven on the preheated pizza stone. If you don’t own a pizza stone, a pizza pan works just fine and doesn’t require preheating.  If you don’t have a pizza pan, use a cookie sheet.  It cooks fairly quickly, so watch it and remove when it starts to brown.
