flat bread pizzas!


so i'm at stanley's looking for my pitas that are so delish and actually made on kedzie which is nice and close, and i can't find them anywhere. i circle the little shelf that holds the breadish things and don't find them. but i find 'pocket-less pitas'. what the heck do you do with pocket-less pitas? flat bread pizza, my friend. 

on tuesday after a ridiculous bike ride to oak park i was so hungry and sweaty that i needed something so great for lunch. so i saw an opportunity for using the sub-par pitas. i also made these last night for dinner since my cousin, paula and her friend angela were visiting and we were all out of money. 

it's the easiest and i'll post what i put on it, but really there shouldn't be a recipe. 

flat bread or pocket-less pita
olive oil
cheese
fixin's. 

i laid one flat bread on a cookie sheet and pre-heated the oven to 350. 
spread a little olive oil on the bread. 
cover with grated cheese
add toppings. for me i used veg from our csa: parsley, onions, broccoli and
 zucchini.  last night i used onions, chives, corn and zucchini. 
sprinkle with salt and pepp and bake until the bread is crispy. 

last night i also made a side dish of veg medley. freshly picked green beans from our garden, carrots from the csa, baby zucchini and squash blossoms from iron creek farms (for free from the wicker park market - the best) 

and of course beet cake for dessert. about which no one says anything bad except for raul who says it tastes like beets. he's full of it. 

right now i'm eating a ridiculous nectarine that mick klug grew even though he says 'God did it, honey'. 

have a great day. 

love,
keighty

  1. one time ani and i had some folks over for a going away party, and we made little pizzas on mini pitas too! our pitas were pocketful, but they still worked.
