Zucchini Pizza with Garlic and Fresh Basil
got from mom, but I don't think either of us have tried this yet.
Ingredients:
1 pizza crust (suggests whole wheat)
2 medium zucchini
olive oil
1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes in juice, juices drained
5 oz mozzarella
1 small red onion
2 large garlic cloves
a large handful of fresh basil leaves
chili peppper flakes (optional)
Directions:
1. Prepare crust.
2. Trim zucchini and cut lengthwise into 1/16 inch slices. Heat a grill pan over medium high heat; lightly brush with oil. Grill zucchini until softened and golden, about 2 min per side. Transfer to a plate; season lightly with coarse sea salt.
3. Put tomatoes in a bowl and using clean hands, break up into small pieces. Season tomato sauce with a pinch fine sea salt. Very thinly slice cheese, onion and garlic. Tear large basil leaves in half; leave small ones whole.
4. Make 4 small pizza crusts out of dough.
5. Spread tomato sauce onto dough, leaving a 1/4 inch border at edge. Working quickly, sprinkle some garlic and onion slices over sauce, then tear several slices mozzarella and put them onto pizza. Arrange zucchini slices over pizza in a crisscross pattern. Drizzle pizza with 2 teaspoons oil (avoiding edges), top with basil and sprinkle with coarse salt.
6. Cook on stone.

Smoked Turkey Brie and Apple Panini
from Mels via my Mom
Ingredients
- Artisan, sourdough or french bread, cut into desired slices
- Shaved or sliced smoked turkey
- 4 ounces Brie cheese, wax removed and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 apple, cored and cut into thin slices (I used a Gala apple)
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
Directions
- In a small saucepan, melt 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat. When hot, add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and beginning to caramelize, 10-12 minutes. Set aside.
- Place a single layer of brie on one slice of the bread. Top with sliced turkey, apples, caramelized onions and finally with another layer of brie. Place the other slice of bread on top of the sandwich. Preheat a skillet or indoor grill pan to medium heat. Place sandwich in the pan and top with a heavy skillet or panini press (I have a cast iron panini press I use with my indoor grill pan). Grill 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
