What an unusual way to use all those veggies that are begging to be included in your menu... Before you turn up your nose as you read the ingredients list - give this a fighting chance for dinner tonight. This is a fun alternative to the meat & fat-laden traditional pizza. The flavors blend so well, and this is one more recipe to help you use the plethora of zucchini that keeps showing up abandoned on your porch.
I found this unusual pizza variation on thisweeksmenu.blogspot.com (called “Corn & Zucchini Pizza w/Lime & Cilantro”) - and it intrigued me. It looked delicious, but called for a few ingredients that I don’t normally have on hand. So I eliminated the feta cheese and red pepper flakes, as well as squeezing fresh lime juice over the top before serving. Everything else I had on hand without a trip to the store. It was nice to be able to use an extra ear of cooked corn that was left from our festivities last weekend.
I had never considered using my plain-jane, non-exotic garden produce on pizza before (except for the usual tomatoes and green peppers - zzzzz....) As long as you slice the zucchini very THIN, you will hardly know it’s there, and the corn was a fun addition also.
This was an easy slice of pizza to hold in your hand, as it wasn’t dripping with a sauce or fat. This crust was chewy, but not overly soft - with just enough crunch to make it a nice blend of thin/crispy and chewy style pizza dough. I resized the recipe to make just one pizza - two is just too much...
