A moon filled of greens

It’s shaped like a pupusa, but I think normally they are made of corn masa and filled with cheese. So this is a free style re-interpretation, I’ve just taken the shape. It’s very tasty, crispy and filling.

The filling : miso + sakekasu (sake lees) and a little water to get a cream texture. Then minced onion, garlic and ginger. The greens are stalks of romanesco (diced) and cut kikuna (chrysanthemum greens)
The crust is likely to break a little, so the filling shouldn’t be too liquid.

The dough is like for tortilla. Today : a mix of white and whole flour, chili flakes, black pepper, a little olive oil, hot water. I didn’t add salt as the filling is very salty already due to the miso. I cooked it in a frying pan without fat.

Garnished with sauce for okonomiyaki (a veggie Worcester sauce).

The nicest leaves of kikuna as a side salad with black rice vinegar and sesame oil.

Then cut and eat while hot.

Special grilled veg’ pizza

Another low-hassle skillet pizza. Ideal for Summer.

I first cooked this dough in a skillet.

I garnished with chunks of steamed white aubergine, raw slices of zucchini.

Capers. Dried tomatoes in oil. Slices of fresh garlic. I painted the toppings with olive oil and passed 5 minutes under the grill of the oven toaster.

Simple and delicious.

Fish and fish skillet pizza

A fish and whole wheat pizza this time.

The dough is cooked in a skillet. Then I’ve added tomato paste + olive oil + garlic + salt. I garnished with green peppers, sweet corn, onion, capers, anchovy and :

katsuo tataki

I’ve added this leftover of seared bonito fish. I’ve finished the cooking in the skillet.

Okra sprouts that landed on the hot pizza.

Here is my nice seaside pizza.

Pizza heart

That’s very simple tonight : a pizza.

Crust : half whole-wheat bread flour
Veggies : steamed aubergine, green bell peppers, black olives
Meat : chicken hearts
Cheezy sauce : miso, sake kasu, olive oil
As it’s too hot for the big oven, I baked it in the oven toaster. The shape is weird as the dough ran away, but that was yummy.

Yamamomo on the pie, when strawberries grow on trees…

It’s a second version of the Japanese flavor pie. I have added yamamomo a season fruit.

So this is the beast. The “Chinese strawberries”. They grow on trees, particularly in Shikoku islands. In Japanese, they are called 山桃 yamamomo (mountain peaches). Even though it’s a very ancient Japanese fruit, it’s not so common on markets these days. I’m glad when I can get some.
