Pita Pizzas with Veggies and Olive Oil

This is a quick and healthy way to make individual pizzas.

4          Pitas (can be any variety, the thinner the better)

3/4 lb   Fresh Mushrooms, sliced

1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese, grated

1 tsp    Dried Thyme, chopped

1 tsp    Dried Oregano, chopped

1/3 cup Tomato Paste, or Veggie Pasta Sauce, any variety

1/2 cup Fresh Chives or Parsley, chopped

1/3 cup Olives, sliced

2          Sweet Red/Green Peppers (or any other variety)

Some   Water

Some   Garlic Powder

Some   Olive Oil

Some   Parmesan Cheese, low-fat.

Brush olive oil on pitas and set aside. In skillet, simmer mushrooms with a sprinkling of olive oil over medium heat, covered for five minutes, or until they are tender. If you are using sweet peppers, cook these in as well. Put grated cheese in a bowl and add in thyme and oregano.

If using tomato paste, add in some water and mix well. Or, if using tomato pasta sauce, spread this on pitas. Top with cheese mixture. Spoon mushrooms and other ingredients on top. Add a  sprinkling of garlic powder and parmesan cheese. Bake in 400 ºF or 200 ºC for 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chives or parsley. Serves 4.

Substitute toppings with anything you have on hand, including dried tomatoes and pineapple.  To make this non-vegetarian add some chopped ham or sausage slices. Enjoy.
