SPINACH:  TOPPING for a Pizza or FILLING for a Calzone

            Based on a recipe from CHATELAINE MAGAZINE

1 lb spinach (454 g)

½ onion

2 garlic cloves

½ cup chopped fresh dill

2 tsp olive oil

1 cup ricotta

1 cup feta, divided

½ tsp salt

1/8 tsp nutmeg

Hot red chili flakes to scatter all over the pizza dough  (for calzones, use 1 tsp)

Cherry tomatoes, halved

Sundried tomatoes, in oil:  chopped

·        Chop the spinach, including stems.  Set aside.

·        Finely chop the onion and garlic.  

·        Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.  Add onion and garlic.  Stir for 5 minutes. 

·        Add spinach and stir for 1 minute.

·        Add ricotta and cook for 10 minutes until most of the liquid is gone.

ASSEMBLING THE PIZZA

·        Stretch or roll the dough to fit the pan.

·        Lightly brush the pizza dough with some of the oil from the sundried tomatoes.

·        Sprinkle hot red chili flakes all over the dough.

·        Bake in 500 degree oven for 7 minutes.

·        Distribute cherry tomato halves and some chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

I enjoyed this pizza SO MUCH that I have to have it again, but I want to put the spinach topping into calzones for camping.   I’ll let you know how that goes.
