directions

  • Heat 2 tablespoon of the olive oil in a saute pan. Add the red onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few pinches of pepper; saute over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until tender. Add half of the garlic and saute for i minute. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan. Wilt the spinach over high heat with 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few pinches of pepper, and the remaining garlic. When the spinach is wilted but still bright green, in about i minute, remove it from the pan and place it in a strainer to cool. Squeeze out the excess moisture with your hands, then coarsely chop and toss with the lemon zest.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F.
  • Roll out the dough and place it on a lightly oiled pizza pan or well-floured wooden peel; brush with the Garlic Oil. Spread the onion on the dough, followed by the spinach. Sprinkle the olives over the spinach, follow with the crumbled feta, then add the mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake the pizza, in the pan or on a preheated pizza stone, for 8 to 12 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp.
  • Remove it from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and fresh rosemary.

  1. Yes!!! We have a winner!! Yummy! I did use a whole wheat tortillas instead of pizza dough (im trying to watch my carbs) It worked out great! This pizza is very flavorful so quick to throw together It will be repeated in my house for sure!
     
  2. Very tasty! The lemon zest and rosemary complement the spinach, feta and olives. Instead of grated mozzarella, I used slices directly on the crust. Also I needed many more than 6 olives. The 500 degrees was too high for the feta which got too browned; I would recommend lowering the temperature or adding the feta at (or near) the end of baking.
     
  3. This was quite a nice pizza. I think I wasn't able to remove enough liquid from the spinach though. I will have to make again & if it improves I will alter my rating. Also, I had problems w/ my pizza dough so that, too, could be a large part of my issues with this.
     
  4. This was really yummy! I used a pre-made wheat pizza dough that wasn't the best so I can't wait to try this again on a better tasting crust. I think it would be wonderful on lavosh too. I added artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes but otherwise prepared as directed. Loved the hint of lemon from the lemon zest!
     
  5. Yum! Really enjoyed this one. Could really taste the lemon and it was a great addition. Used half a batch of recipe #117941 made on a pizza stone for a crispy thin crust which complimented the pizza nicely. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

  2. This is just fabulous! I followed directions except for substituting mushrooms for the olives (I just can't eat an olive) and using a thin crust Boboli pizza shell for the dough. Baked at 450 for 15 minutes and it was just wonderful. The flavor meld really well (I would imagine the shrimp touch would be good too). DH enjoyed this especially, he ate 3/4 of it himself! Made for the April 2008 PAC.

<p>I love to cook...surprise! <br /><br />I really enjoy cooking for small dinner parties and family. <br /><br />I do everything from scratch and prepare a huge varity of cusines. <br /><br />We have a fabulous herb garden year round and vegetables during growing season. <br /><br />My old man Cavalier passed away on July 15, 2009.
