Fish, Lemon and Chive Pizza.
In this current heatwave, one could easily be transported to the Continent, and seeing the restaurants extending their seating onto the streets brings back memories of the cafes in France.We are gradually becoming more European in our eating ways, and it is creeping out from the big cities to our local high streets.
Eating outside and people watching is such a relaxing way to enjoy the summer. On Saturday evening, I took the opportunity to sit and people watch whilst waiting for friends. Wow! What an assortment, but all looking relaxed and smiling. Perhaps it was the warmth and the late sun, perhaps it was the alcohol that flows a little more freely, but whatever it was, the town felt different.
Tonight we are having pizza, the base of which I prepared yesterday. Plenty of tuna tins (some from T's Uni room!) makes me decide to make a fish pizza - we like these. Frozen prawns and some thinly sliced lemons add a little extra. The lemon compliments the fish and baking the slices means you can eat it all if you wish. Top off with some chive flowers to add some extra colour and a bite of onion flavouring.
Fish, Lemon and Chive Pizza.
Pizza base (see previous post)
Passata or Tomato puree
Selection of cheeses, grated
1 tin tuna
Handful of frozen prawns, defrosted
3 thin slices of lemon
4 chive flowers.
Spread a thin layer of passata onto the base.
Sprinkle grated cheeses over the base.
Add the tuna, flaking to distribute evenly.
Place the prawns over the tuna, followed by the lemon.
Sprinkle more cheese on top, and then add your chive flowers.
Add a final sprinkling of dried basil and a grind of black pepper.
Bake at 220 C for 15 mins.
Enjoy!
