Goats Cheese, Baby Spinach and Chutney Pizza

It tastes so gooooood..

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 175g plain white flour
• 1/2 cup of warm water
• 1 tsp dried yeast
• 1 tsp sugar

For the topping:

• 8 black pitted olives, halved
• A handful of baby spinach leaves
• 100g goat cheese, thinly sliced
• 6 tbsp red onion chutney
• 2 tbsp tomoato puree

Method:

1. Mix the yeast, sugar and water together. Leave to sit in a warm place for about 7 minutes (until the yeast and sugar has dissolved). 

2. Add flour and mix to make a firm dough (adding extra flour if necessary). Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and now you have your pizza base.

3. Spread the tomato purée on first evenly. Then place the baby spinach leaves on (I always try to make a nice pattern)

4. Bang the goats cheese on the pizza dollop lots of small spoonfuls of the chutney on too. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at a fairly high heat, then enjoy!

Who needs a pizza take away now ey?

Cheeky Little Chestnuts

A little Autumn tip...

This little delight is free. Yes, FREE!


So, chestnutting season has arrived. So all you crazy nutters (see what I did there?) anyway.. all you crazy nutters out there go into your local woods and get chestnutting.


To find chestnuts you go to a chestnut tree.. what's that?.. you don't know what a chestnut tree looks like?

This is what one looks like! :)

What was I saying? Oh yes! ... You go over to this tree and look for these on the ground...

Beware of the spikes!

And with the heel of your shoe you stomp on them (not too hard) but hard enough to break the shell and collect the little nuts. 


Take them home, stab each one lightly with a fork to make a tiny hole in the centre of the nut (but not all the way through) then boil them for around 10 - 12 minutes.


There ready to eat! To eat them you simply peel away the shell and bobs your uncle.


I like to serve with honey so you can dip the little nutters in to give it added sweetness.


Happy Chestnutting my fellow nutters :)
