Margherita Potato based pizza

Serves 4 - FREE ON GREEN, ADD 6 SYNS IF NOT USING MOZZARELLA AS A HEALTHY EXTRA.

Ready in 1 hour PLUS overnight chilling

BASE:

6 large potatoes
6 spring onions ( I used mixed herbs)
2 eggs
Salt + fresh ground pepper
Fry Light

FOR THE TOPPING:

2 garlic cloves
1 Onion
14oz/397g Cherry Tomatoes (I used tin tomatoes)
A handful of fresh basil leaves (again used herbs)
1 tsp artificial sweetner
6oz/170g mozzarella cheese


1 – Peel and dice the potatoes, boil until tender, drain, return to pan and mash. Set aside to cool a little. Meanwhile finely chop the spring onions. Place the mashed potatoes, spring onions and one egg in a bowl and season well. Using your fingers, mix well and shape into a ball. Cover the bowl and chill overnight to allow the mixture to firm up.

2- Prepare the topping: Crush the garlic; finely chop the onion; remove the skins from the tomatoes and chop most of the basic leaves. Place in a pan with the sweetener and bring to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring often until thickened. Season well and remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made up to a day in advance and chilled until needed)

3 - Preheat the oven to 200c/400f/Gas Mark 6. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Place the potato mixture in the centre and, using your hands, pat into a 10in/25cm “pizza base”. Beat the remaining egg and brush over the base, spray with fry light and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly browned.

4 - Spread the topping mixture over the base. Slice the mozzarella and arrange on op. Return the pizza to the oven for a further 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven, scatter over the remaining basil, cut into wedges and serve.

I keep meaning to make the mash-base pizza. I think the recipe was in a mag a couple of months ago. Let us know how it goes Louise!

I am having a chinese with friends tonight. It's a green day so I can have plenty of boiled rice. What main course would do least damage do you think???

Oh...and another question (sorry!)

How do you count sushi? I like those little boxes you get from the supermarket - on green, is the rice free and then the little slice of prawn on top is a HE? There was just veg inside the other rolls.

Emma i find if i'm having sweet cravings I make a cup of cocoa..cocoa powder is only about 1/2 syn (so less that options/highlights etc) using my milk allowance and a spoon full of splendor and that usually helps.

Cocoa powder is 1 syn per heaped teaspoon so, depending on the way you like it (weak or strong) I find that Options is actually less syn-ful and so much tastier than plain cocoa....I like the Fudge flavour and the Turkish Delight one, yum!!!

Hi folks.
Reddeb and peachyest, cheers for the cheers! It was waaaaay back on page 282 tho, in case you were puzzled! I only get on the pooter when it decides to let me, its very temperamental- worse than my hubby lol!
And thanks to all for the recipes, I tried the cottage pie with carrot and swede topping (red), and it was FAR nicer than ordinary boring potato! Next weigh-in tomoro nite, will let you all know how i do.

I used to take my ds with me to a morning group and no one minded. I would say take some snacks and a drink with you. And maybe something he can play with in the pram. I never took my ds out because he would have legged it lol!

Thanks Iluvslimmingworld

I'm making Shepherds pie tonight, I use lamb mince for the base (cant stand Quorn mince!!) and then top it with mashed swede & carrot, sprinkle sliced leeks over the top and sprinkle a little cheddar over the top. My hubby (who isn't doing SW and doesn't need to) has declared it better than potato-topped Shepherds pie!

Ive made all these and they taste devine!

enjoy! x
