From the five minute healthy breakfast omelet to the slow cooked Sunday stew there’s one key ingredient that will complete any meal, something fresh. One of my all time favorite/ freshest most simple meals ever is a Saturday morning French bread pizza. Right when I wake up we head straight down to the farmers market to get tomatoes, basil and goat cheese made that morning at 4am from Soledad Goats and driven down to the market from Hanford, CA. Then we stop at Giuliano’s Bakery for some fresh baked bread and mozzarella cheese.
I make a sauce by sweating a half a chopped onion and five cloves of minced garlic in olive oil. Then add 14 oz. of canned San Marzano tomatoes (with it’s liquid), salt, pepper, oregano, Parmesan cheese and crushed red peppers. Simmer for 30 minutes to let the liquid reduce to half.
Slice the bread, add a little sauce, chopped basil, cheese, sliced tomatoes and more chopped basil on top. Then place in a 350 degree pre heated oven for 9 minutes.
