Gary’s Protein-Packed Pizza

Now, my brother-in-law, Gary, LOVES pizza so it was only right that I dedicated one of my recipes to him. Like the rest of the family he’s big into his sport, but particularly cycling. If he’s not out beating a personal best, he’s either building a bike from scratch or tinkering with the mechanics of it – I don’t know anyone who knows more about the inner workings than he does! As with anyone serious about sporting performance, Gary is also big into his nutrition and so this recipe is packed full of protein to help speed up the recovery of those leggies! This one’s for you Big Bro J

Ingredients:

6 tbsp tomato purée

2 160g cans of tuna, 1 for each pizza

1 red onion

1 400g can of five bean salad

100g cheddar cheese, grated

Method:

1.      This is a simple pizza to make as there’s not much preparation needed because most of the ingredients come in a can! All that can really be done is to slice the red onion and fry in a saucepan until tender.

2.      When the bases have finished proving, take them out and turn the oven up to 210°C so it has time to heat up.

3.      Spread the tomato purée over the bases and then the red onion.

4.      Drain the tuna and add this to the pizza as well.

5.      Do the same with the can of five bean salad.

6.      Sprinkle over the grated cheddar and pop in the oven for 10 minutes.

7.      Buon appetito!
