Naan Pizza

Both my parents were full-time professionals during my formative years. Having a full-time working mom meant that quality time took a whole new meaning. It also made me see cooking & food in a different way. Short-cuts are fine as long as you don’t compromise on taste, ingredients or nutrition. So here is my contribution to the working mom’s culinary repertoire…This is one recipe you can whip up within minutes & it will be gobbled up by children & adults alike & leave you looking like a Superstar. I beg you to keep the wherewithal for this fantastic instant snack-cum-supper in your kitchen. It's a lifesaver! I've given my topping of preference; feel free to play about and make your own. While I feel strongly that while shop-bought microwave pizzas are vile, packet naans, when heated, are not.

Ingredients:

• 1 shop-bought naan bread
• 2 teaspoons tomato pulp (chopped and sieved tomatoes from a jar - or other tomato sauce)
• 70 grams drained mixed mushroom antipasto (from a jar)
• 75 grams roughly chopped mozzarella cheese
• 3 stalks thyme

Method:

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Lay the naan on a lined baking sheet. Spread the tomato pulp or sauce over the naan, then tumble the drained mushrooms on top and sprinkle with the chopped cheese, before finally strewing with the thyme leaves stripped from the stalks.Cook in the oven for about 5 minutes, by which time the cheese should be bubbling and melted. Pop into plates & hand it around to a suitably grateful & impressed audience. Be careful not to burn your mouth  :)
