MAKES 2 | PREP TIME 15 mins | COOK TIME 15 mins | INGREDIENTS 10 | DIFFICULTY Easy

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bunch broccolini
• 1/2 bunch silverbeet, finely shredded
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup (65g) pesto
• 2 round pizza bases
• 2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan
• 250g fresh mozzarella or bocconcini, roughly torn
• 2 bacon rashers, cut into large pieces

METHOD

Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

Step 2:

Thinly slice the stalks of the broccolini and set aside. Blanch the broccolini tops in boiling, salted water for 1-2 minutes until just tender, adding the silverbeet for the final 10 seconds. Drain and refresh under cold water.

Step 3:

Combine garlic, lemon zest and oil in a bowl, then toss with drained broccolini tops and silverbeet. Season and set aside.

Step 4:

Spread the pesto over the pizza bases and scatter with the parmesan and sliced broccolini stalks. Divide the mozzarella, bacon, and greens between the pizza bases. Bake for 12-14 minutes until crust is golden and crisp, and cheese has melted. Cut into slices and serve immediately.
