A Festive Pizza for Libby

I am confident that there is no one in the world who loves Christmas more than my big sister Libby! Although she’s nine years older than me, as soon as she hears ‘Jingle Bells’ on the radio or watches ‘Elf’ on the TV, she immediately reverts back to being a big kid! And I know we’re still months away from December and the first dusting of snow, but I couldn’t resist spreading a bit of festive cheer – if shops can start shoving Christmas down our throats when we’re still in flip flops, then so can I! So Merry Christmas my Little Big Sis J

As with Dad's sweet and savoury pizza recipe, this one also uses some braised red cabbage with apples. For instructions on how to prepare this, please click here.

Other ingredients:

250g brussel sprouts, shredded

2 handfuls of flaked almonds

100g goat’s cheese, crumbled

Spattering of ranberry sauce

Method:

1.      With the braised red cabbage already prepared, and the bases in the oven proving, it’s time to turn your attention to the other aspects of this topping.

2.      Grate your brussel sprouts and fry them for 5 minutes with some olive oil.

3.      Take the bases out the oven and turn the oven up to 210°C.

4.      Spread the braised red cabbage over the bases and add the fried, shredded brussel sprouts.

5.      Add the handfuls of flaked almonds so that they can toast nicely whilst in the oven, turning a delicious golden brown.

6.      Crumble over the cheese and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

7.      Before serving, add the icing on the cake to any Christmas meal – the cranberry sauce!

8.   Buon appetito!
