I saw this recipe in Parents magazine. The original recipe was not completely vegetarian, so I changed it a little bit.
Ingredients:
Asparagus, sliced – 1 cup (approximately 10-12 spears)
Yellow Peeper, diced – 1 cup (1 medium size)
Plum Tomatoes, seeded and chopped – 2 (I used 1/4 cup of crushed tomatoes instead)
Garlic, minced – 1 clove (I used 2 cloves)
Olive oil – 1 teaspoon
Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
Italian seasoning
Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon (not mentioned in the original recipe)
Refrigerated Pizza tube – 1 (I used Pillsburry Pizza Crust)
Italian blend Cheese, shredded – 1 cup (I used part skim pizza blend cheese)
Procedure:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a glass bowl, combine asparagus, peepers, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, Italian seasoning and pepper.
3. Mix them well and here is how it looks:
4. Cover and microwave for 4 minutes, stirring once in the middle. Let cool 5 minutes. Drain off excess liquid. (But I did not have any excess liquid)
5. Unroll pizza dough onto baking sheet and shape into a rectangle.
6. Place half of cheese onto bottom third of dough along its length.
7. Spread veegie filling onto cheese.
8. Top with remaining cheese.
9. Roll up to shape stromboli (into a log).
10. Bake for 25 minutes.
11. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
I got around 23 pieces for this measurement. My husband and I loved it. A different twist to the regular pizza.
My Notes:
1. This was a bit salty, so you may want to increase the amount of pepper if you want it spicy.
2. I suggest to cool the baked stromboli even for 10 minutes, so that slicing will not be difficult and you will also get neat slices.
