White Sauce Pizza with Eggplant or Zucchini…Or both!

It has taken a few tries to finally get this pizza down.
The first steps was getting the right pizza dough. I had tried a number of “quick and easy” pizza doughs looking for the right taste. I finally settled on the one that does not profess as easy, and it is not that quick to make but in the end the taste wins over time.

The second step was getting the white sauce down. Making a white sauce is something I truly have been avoiding for a number of years. I am not a fan of white sauces, especially those cheesy thick saucy sauces that virtually gag my taste buds with flavor. The sauce I settled on is simple to make and creates a super tasting base for our White Sauce Pizza.

Finally, the last step was timing. Everything had to be timed and scheduled so the prep time and cook time was not only flowing smoothly but that the time was as short as possible. This is because the the total preparation time is a bit deceiving. Mainly because the dough I picked is made with yeast, therefore it does require in advance a few hours of lag time to let the dough rise. However once the dough is ready the actual prep time is of about 20-30 minutes while the cook time is 10-15 minutes.

Vegetarian Cauliflower

I am going to do “almuerzo” today and I saw this recipe which intrigued me since I like cauliflower. The dish is basically a cauliflower head with some dressing added to your favorite vegetable sides. It is baked for 30-40 minutes. Then I add rice is to go with the sauce of the drippings.

So, let’s start with the ingredients:

Your ingredients:

I needed to fudge some because some of the items I did not have but I can’t be detered from cooking today’s meal. One must eat, so maybe next week I will follow the recipe to the letter.

1/2 head of cabbage

small onion

1 clove of garlic

hand full of mushroom

two tomatoes

half a green peper

hand full of string beans and another of peas

These items I set into the glass baking dish and added about a 1/4 cup of water along with my standard condiments: salt, pepper, oregano along with parsley, cilantro, and a bit of spinach.

The dressing:

mini-potatoes- sliced thin

salt

black pepper

olive oil

red wine vinegar

Soy sauce

brown sugar

seasoning herb mix

The Sauce: Now mix your sauce ingredients well, then add your potatoes, mix well and let sit for a few minutes while you set up your rice to cook.

Rice: Check out my post on cooking your rice, it is simple, fast and turns out perfect rice time and again.

Cook: So, now you have your vegetables and cauliflower in the dish. Take your sauce and first place the potatoes around the cauliflower over the vegetables. Next spread your sauce over the cauliflower. Take a sheet of aluminum foil and cover your dish before you place it in the oven. The suggested temperature is 400F. However on my oven, which is celsius, I set it to 350F and cooked for 30 minutes. Check it before you take it out to serve.

Serve: Your rice should have finished, placed your cauliflower into a deep serving dish, drain the drippings onto a small bowl and serve along with your rice.

Dessert: So let’s add dessert to a light and tasty meal. Our choice this afternoon was a delicious paneton with chocolate chips.

Which blended wonderfully with a cool rum coffee cocktail.
