On Saturday morning, we went to the Durham farmers market and purchased lots of goodies: butternut squash, big bunch of mustard greens and collard greens, bell peppers, rosemary, fresh jalapenos, fresh Serrano peppers, and a huge white radish. All for $10 - yay! After the extremely disappointing Michigan/Ohio State football game, we decided to try and cheer up with a wine and "cheez" pizza party and starting to watch The Wire season 1 (thank you Netflix). We used pre-made whole wheat pizza crust (although I want to try to make pizza dough sometime soon), and didn't end up using too many of the farmer's market supplies for the pizza (we saved that for Sunday)-- but the pizza turned out great! Which is awesome, because I had been craving ann arbor in-and-out pizza while trying to console myself after the awful Michigan game!
Ingredients
Pre-made pizza dough (Trader Joe's has a good one!)
2 cups of marinara sauce (we used Whole Foods 365 Tomato Basil sauce)
1 cup Tofu-Basil Cheez

1 cup chopped spinach
1 bell pepper, cut in 1 inch thin slices
1 cup broccoli
1 jalapeno, quartered and chopped
1/2 cup chopped basil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp salt (or more to taste)
Preparation
-Saute Vegetables (spinach, bell pepper, and broccoli) in olive oil with garlic and spices (black pepper, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt)
-Prepare Tofu Basil Cheez
-Preheat oven to 350 F
-Spread marina sauce over premade crust
-Spoon Tofu Basil Cheez onto crust and flatten with back of spoon, think feta rather than melty mozzarella.
