Salmon Salad Pizza
« on: August 10, 2010, 11:14:46 am »

This is a recipe I developed for a competition we had at a Thermomix cooking class (from a mystery box of ingredients) - it had to be prepared, cooked and presented in 30 minutes (along with two other dishes)!  It's very quick, and yummy!  :)

If you have them, place 2 pizza stones in oven and preheat oven to 250 degrees.  (If not, it will still work - pizza stones just help make a crisper crust.)

1. Base: Mix all ingredients in Thermomix, 6 seconds, speed 6:

- 500g spelt flour (or bakers' flour)
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 60g oil
- 2 tsp of yeast
- 270g water

  Knead for 1 ½ mins on interval setting.  Wrap in thermomat (or in an oiled bowl and cover) and set aside until sauce is ready.

2. Sauce: Mix all ingredients in Thermomix, 4 seconds, speed 6:

- 2 Italian tomatoes (quartered)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- small handful of fresh basil
- small handful fresh oregano (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp rapadura
- Pinch of sea salt
- 80g tomato paste
- 1/2 a fresh chilli, deseeded (optional)

  Remove to a large bowl, set aside.

3. Divide dough in two, roll out into two circles and place on lined or oiled pizza trays. Drizzle with oil.

- 2 Tblspns extra virgin olive oil (optional)

4. Spread sauce over pizzas, leaving about 3 tablespoons in bowl for salad; flake salmon over, and sprinkle with grated mozzarella.  (Mozarella is optional - if you can't have dairy it tastes fine without it.)

- 2 x 95g tins of lemon salmon, drained & flaked
- 100g mozzarella cheese, grated roughly

5. Place pizzas in oven on pizza stones and bake until crisp, about 15 mins.

6. Salad Topping: While pizzas are baking, chop in Thermomix, 3 seconds, speed 5:

- ½ red onion
- Handful Italian parsley
- handful fresh basil
- 2 Tblspns extra virgin olive oil
- juice of half a lemon
- Salt and pepper

6. Toss salad topping ingredients together with olives & greens in bowl with reserved sauce:

- 100g of sliced Kalamata olives
- a few handfuls of salad greens (rocket, mizuna, tatsoi, baby spinach, etc)

7. Sprinkle salad topping over pizza, slice, and serve.

That picture is wonderful.  Great idea too, thanks.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Yes, I just used the little tins of flavoured salmon, one per pizza, as that was what was in our mystery bag - and it tasted good.  :)
