Rustic Pita Pizza



Sometimes after consuming copious amounts of delicious Indian food, when all the buttery naan has been argued over and then reluctantly shared, and Biryani rice has been mixed around with spice and gobbled up, sometimes, just sometimes there remains a small but precious amount of butter chicken sauce or left-over daal. Full from the feast, and unwilling to throw out the seemingly 'insignificant' remains, I pack the left-overs up.

Next day, I wonder, how can I stretch out these 'scraps'? Indian Pita Pizzas are my answer!!!!!!!

Brush pita with oil.
Use leftover sauce (butter chicken in this case) as a tomato sauce replacement.
Thinly slice any left over eggplant, pickle, okra, etc and sprinkle on pizza.
Include anything from your fridge you'd like to use up (in my case, some smoked turkey breast, green onion and fresh cilantro).
Top with cheese! I used fresh paneer but mozeralla, boccacini, cheddar or anything you'd like would work too!
Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees, and then jack up the heat or set the oven to broil for the last minute in order to get some colour. Enjoy your snack!
