Homemade Takeaway Recipes: Mini Pita Pizza

We all love a takeaway once in a while but they can be costly and often full of extra fat and calories.

It’s so simple to make your own homemade takeaway dishes and this mini pita pizza recipe from McCain’s couldn’t be simpler!

Mini Pita Pizza

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 20 mins

Cooking time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

4/6 whole-wheat pita breads

480g McCain French Fries

Salad leaves

Toppings of your choice

For the tomato sauce -

1 tbsp olive oil

400g chopped tomatoes

1 small onion, chopped finely

1 clove garlic, crushed

Good pinch of dried mixed herbs

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C / Gas Mark 9.

2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, gently fry the onions until soft and golden, and add the garlic and herbs. Add the tomatoes and simmer until thickened (for approx 20 minutes).

3. Meanwhile brush each pita with a little olive oil and grill until crispy (this stops the base from going soggy).

4. Top the base of the pita with a layer of your tomato sauce and add your favourite cheeses and toppings. Chopped ham, sweetcorn, chicken, pineapple, olives, mozzarella and mushrooms all work well.

5. Spread McCain French Fries evenly on a baking sheet and cook for 14-16 minutes until hot and crispy.

6. After 10 minutes add the pitas to the oven for the remaining 6-8 minutes. Enjoy the pitas with a serving of French Fries.
