Ingredients
  • 1 large pizza base (bought or see attached recipe below)
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 100g goat's cheese (or other soft cheese, e.g. bocconcini, fresh mozzarella)
  • ½ cup chopped fresh spinach
  • ½ cup chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • sour cream or natural style yoghurt to serve (see notes)
Instructions
  1. Place a baking stone or round baking tray in oven and preheat oven to 180C. Place pizza base on a floured cutting board.
  2. Combine harissa and olive oil in small bowl, apply paste to pizza base evenly, leaving a 1-inch edge.
  3. Use a vegetable peeler to make thin zucchini slices, layer over the harissa on pizza base.
  4. Roughly tear or cut goat's cheese and drop dollops over pizza. Scatter spinach evenly over toppings and gently slide pizza onto baking stone or tray.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is puffed and golden. Remove from oven and scatter fresh herbs over pizza. Cut into ⅙ths and serve immediately.
Notes
Too hot and spicy? Combine the 2 tbsp of harissa paste with 1 tbsp tomato paste and continue on with the recipe! Serve the pizza with sour cream or natural yoghurt to help cut through the spiciness.
