4Tangy artichokes and Kalamata olives with sauteed onions, leeks and mushrooms provide a flavor burst in this easy pizza.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano leaf, dried
- 1/2 teaspoon basil, dried
- 3 cups sweet onions, diced
- 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
- 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced in half
- 1 cup canned or marinated artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
- 1 cup leeks, thoroughly rinsed and sliced crosswise
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 10-inch premade pizza crust
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 450˚F. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, oregano, basil and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute the onions for 10 minutes until they begin to brown. Add the mushrooms and saute 5 minutes, then add the leeks, 2 tablespoons each of minced garlic and chopped rosemary and saute 3 minutes more. Place the pizza crust on a baking tray, brush the entire top of the crust with half of the olive oil mixture, and then top with the mushroom and onion mixture. Arrange the sliced olives and artichoke hearts on top. Reduce the oven temperature to 425˚F., place the pizza on a center rack in the oven and bake 12 minutes or until the crust is browned on the edges. Remove from the oven and drizzle or brush the remaining olive oil mixture over the pizza, sprinkle with black pepper and serve.
Serving Suggestion
Accompanied with a Greek or Caesar salad, this zesty un-sauced pizza is a Mediterranean delight. Add a sprinkle of crumbled feta or goat cheese if you prefer.
