Tortizza Margherita & Rocket Salad
These tortilla-based pizzas are a quick and easy twist on the Neapolitan classic. By using tortillas for the base, you get that crunchy snap that you can only usually get from a wood-fired oven. The rocket and Italian hard cheese salad sits on top, adding a freshness and a peppery flavour.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6
Boil a kettle
Add the tortillas to a large baking tray
Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 4-5 min or until the tortillas are starting to turn brown around the edges
Once browned, remove the tortillas from the oven and set them aside
Meanwhile, peel and chop (or grate) the garlic
Strip the basil leaves from their stalks and chop the stalks finely, leaving the leaves whole for later
Combine the tomato paste with 100ml [200ml] boiled water in a heat-proof bowl
Add the chopped garlic, chopped basil stalks, 1 tsp [2 tsp] sugar and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl – this is your tomato sauce
Meanwhile, tear the mozzarella into large pieces
Pat the torn mozzarella with kitchen paper, pressing down very firmly so that the mozzarella is nice and dry (this stops your pizzas from being soggy)
Cut the baby plum tomatoes in half
Divide the tomato sauce between the tortillas and spread it out towards the edges
Top with the torn mozzarella, basil leaves and halved baby plum tomatoes
Season with a pinch of salt and return to the oven for a further 8-10 min or until the mozzarella has fully melted and the tortillas are crispy – these are your tortizzas
Meanwhile, slice the Italian hard cheese finely with a peeler, until you end up with a pile of cheese shavings
Wash the wild rocket
Once the tortizzas are done, top each one with a handful of the rocket and a drizzle of olive oil
Garnish with the cheese shavings
Slice the tortizzas into quarters and serve
Enjoy!
