Recipe Time! (Low-fat Vego Pizza)

In lieu of time to post a proper update (will attempt to tonight) I thought I'd add one of my favourite, quick and easy low-fat recipes.

Pumpkin, Feta and Caramelised Onion Pizza.

1 onion
1/4 cup low fat feta cheese
1/2 cup pumpkin
1 Pitta bread round
1tbs homus (pizza sauce will also suffice)
Handful baby spinach leaves
Slivered Roasted almonds (optional)

To caramelise your onion leave it on a low heat with a a smidgen (roughly 1 tsp) of olive oil. The natural sugars in the onion will caramelise the onion but it must be cooked at a low temperature. You don't want it to burn, or brown. This will take about 20-30 minutes. If you like balsamic vinegar, you can add 1tbs in the last 10 minutes of cooking. It tastes just as good without it however.

Meanwhile, chop your pumpkin into little cubes and then lightly cook. I tend to zap mine in the microwave for roughly 3 minutes. Once your onion is cooked, toss pumpkin in with the onion and lightly cook for a further 10 minutes. Stir gently so the pieces stay nice and cubed (you don't want pumpkin and onion mash at this point).

Smother homus (or pizza sauce) on your pita bread before adding your onion and pumpkin mix. Whack the pizza in a moderate oven for 5 minutes before adding some baby spinach and a sprinkling of feta (add your roasted almonds here if preferable). Cook for a further 5-10 minutes.

Enjoy!
