Rectangular False Vegetable Pizza...As Vegetarian And Light As It Gets!!



This is not a pizza. It has no tomato on the bottom, and definitely no cheese. Yes...it could have been a 3 million calorie pizza if I put a doctored tomato sauce on the bottom and covered it with nice, melting Cheddar, Mozzarella, Gouda or a mixture of all three!....
This is a pastry based rectangular mixture of many old and or forgotten vegetables in your fridge, sauteed with olive oil, covered with Panko and baked 45 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius in the middle of the oven.

Ingredients:

- Left over old rocket finely chopped.
- Left over old lettuce finely chopped.
- 6 not very fresh leeks finely chopped.
- 6 not very fresh scallions finely chopped.
- Any other greens you think you need to get rid of (but not in the waste bin)l
- 1 pack of two pastry sheets. Use only one...save the other for another day. For my Greek readers I used Kourou pastry.
- A few handfuls of Panko Japanese bread crumbs.
- 2 T olive oil and
- 6 very small dollops of butter ( if you wish ).
- 1 rectangular cookie sheet.

N.B. Needles of say the above veggies must still be edible but not good enough for a salad.

Method:

-  Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Mix all the above veggies.
- Heat oil in a wok or karahi (you will need space).
- Add veggies and stir fry for about 10 minutes till they are soft but crunchy.
- Line your rectangular pastry on your cookie sheet.
- Cove pastry with sauteed veggies.
- Sprinkle with Panko.
- Bake for 45 minutes.

- Take out of oven, let cool 15 minutes then cut into squares.

THE PANKO COULD BE REPLACED BY GRATED PARMESAN!!


Enjoy a very light snack.

Bamia Mafroukeh--Ladies fingers with beef or lamg -Taste of Sudan.

S udan is the largest country in Africa. Lately there was a quarrel between the North and South (Juba). The reason: Oil. Chevron and other Petroleum companies found lots of Oil reserves in the South and so the fight started. I personally visited the village of Bentu, in the South during one of my visits to Chevron Oil Company in the South. As all countries, the Sudan also has its local foods. A very popular one is Molokhia which grows only in summer. Bamia, in Arabic, lady's fingers or internationally known as Okra can be readily found all year round. Bamia Mafroukeh is a delicious food eaten with the Sudanese bread called Kisra. The term Mafroukeh is act of breaking down the bamia when it well cooked to turn it into a thick, soup. There is special wooden utensil the Sudanese use. Ingredients: - 1 kg bamia Lady's fingers or Okra. - 1 kg beef or lamb bone free. - 1/2 kg fresh tomatoes cut in quarters. - 1 big onion roughly cut. - 6 cloves of garlic finely cut. -
