Mouth watering , delectable and sure fire hits ! a very special collection of recipes.....

Rather than writing recipes on little scraps of paper and then forgetting where I put it for the next time , I have decided to start a recipe blog . Another purpose is to help all those friends who are in need of some good recipes.Most of my recipes will be Pakistani/Indian origin punctuated with the occasional pasta or specialty desserts.

puff pastry pizzas


This is a lovely after school snack or a starter for a dinner party but I noticed that they go soggy and soft if you pack them for a picnic etc...so good to serve just out of the oven and they wont last long anyway:)

Ingredients:
2 puff pastry sheets
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green OR red capsicum
1 small onion chopped
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
3/4 cup pasta sauce(tomato based )
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella OR tasty cheese

Directions:
Thaw pastry sheet at room temperature 30 min. Preheat oven to 220C
Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface. Roll into a rectangle and place on greased baking sheet. Fold over edge about 1/2" to form rim. Prick center of pastry rectangle thoroughly with fork. Bake 10 min.
Heat oil in in a pan add garlic ,mushrooms, capsicum and onion and cook until tender.( I personally like to add some chilli flakes to this mixture)
Spread pasta sauce over crust to rim. Top with vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 min. or until cheese melts. Cut into 8 pieces per sheet
TIP: *For appetizers, cut into 16 pieces.

YUM ! :)
