Perfect Pizza

25 minutes: 10 minutes preparation, 10-15 minutes cooking time.

1 pizza base (Safeway/Morrisons own brand of ready-made base and Heinz’s base are dairy-free. Or else buy one from your health store)
1 jar pizza topping or pasta sauce or your own home-made thick tomato sauce
3 medium mushrooms, sliced
½ small red pepper, cut into thin rings or slices
Other veg of your choice: sweetcorn, olives, tinned artichoke hearts cut in half, thinly-sliced onions etc are all very good
Olive oil
2-3 slices melting vegan ‘cheese’ such as Redwood’s Melting Mozzarella or Melting Cheddar
Freshly ground black pepper

  2. Lightly fry vegetables – except for ready cooked items such as sweetcorn and artichoke hearts.
  3. Leave mushrooms until last and don’t overcook.
  4. Spread pizza base with topping, then arrange vegetables and cheese artistically on top.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until veg just tender and cheese has melted.
