2 sachet

1 unit

1 tub

(Contains: Milk, Tree Nuts; )
1 packet
Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 bag
salad leaves
1 unit
onion
½ block
feta cheese
(Contains: Milk; May be present: Tree Nuts. )
tbs
olive oil
1 tbs
balsamic vinegar (for the sauce)
1.5 tsp
brown sugar
2 tsp
water
1.5 tbs
balsamic vinegar (for the onion)
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced (remove the wire racks first). Peel the courgette into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Thinly slice the red onion. In a small bowl, combine the tomato paste, balsamic vinegar (for the sauce) and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well.
Place the wholemeal pizza bases on the wire rack, rough-side down. Using the back of a spoon, spread evenly with the tomato paste mixture. Top the pizza with the courgette ribbons. Crumble over the feta and sprinkle evenly with the shredded Cheddar cheese.
Bake the pizzas on the rack for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted slightly and the base is crisp. TIP: Baking the pizzas directly on the wire rack helps the base become crisp.
While the pizza is baking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes, or until softened. Add the balsamic vinegar (for the onions), water and brown sugar and stir to combine. Cook for a further 3-5 minutes or until dark and sticky.
Once the pizza is finished, spoon over the traditional pesto and caramelised onions.
Top the pizzas with the rocket leaves and slice. TIP: Serve 1/2 the rocket leaves on the side, with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil if you prefer!
