Ricotta Pizza with Caramelized Onions and Spinach

 I had some dough in the freezer (gluten-free) and wanted to use some of it up.  I had  balls of dough each making two items.  I already knew, I wanted to make a pizza with ricotta cheese but the second item remained a mystery to me.  

 No point it obsessing about this, I was  sure something would come to mind and I promptly forgot about the second ball of dough.

 As you probably know, inspiration comes from what is in the refrigerator and I had my favorite roasted pepper dip.  I mixed it with some ricotta for this creamy topping and added caramelized onions and spinach.  It was easy to put together and we loved every bite.

Ricotta Pizza

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup roasted pepper dip 
1 tablespoon olive oil 
1 large onion, thin sliced
1 cup of baby spinach leaves

 Method:

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Roll our crust and place on pizza pan.  I think, my pan is ten inches.  Bake for 5 minutes.

 Heat oil in large skillet and add onions.  Cook on low heat for 10 - 15 minutes, mixing occasionally.

 Mix together ricotta and roasted pepper dip.

Remove crust from oven and spread cheese mixture over it.

Top with  onions and spinach.

 Return to oven and cook for about 10 minutes, just enough for crust to become golden and the cheese to be heated.  My crust was thin and baked very quickly.  A thicker crust will need more time.


Eat and enjoy.

    Your Ina smoothie sounds good, Chaya. Don't think I've seen her make that.
    Also, very inventive to add red pepper dip to the pizza topping. I'd like that much better than the usual red sauce!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
