Pesto, prawns and a sprinkle of cheese is a mighty combination on this amazing super-crispy pizza.

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tsp

Fennel

1 small, thinly sliced

Garlic

2 clove(s), thinly sliced

Asparagus

2 bunch(es), trimmed, cut into 4cm lengths

Wholemeal lebanese bread

2 small, (2 x 75g)

Basil pesto

2 tbs

Grated parmesan cheese

¼ cup(s)

Raw peeled prawns

300 g, peeled medium green prawns, tails intact, deveined

Fresh lemon rind

2 tsp, finely grated

Fresh red chilli

1 whole, deseeded, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
  2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and heat over medium-low heat. Cook the fennel and garlic, stirring, for 8 minutes or until lightly caramelised.
  3. Meanwhile, steam the asparagus over a saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute or until just tender. Drain.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Salad of halved grape tomatoes and baby rocket leaves. TIP: You only need to lightly steam the asparagus, as it gets cooked again in the oven.
