Easy Corn Pizza
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 Roma or plum type tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup corn kernels cut from cob
1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
Pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper
2 (6-inch) whole-wheat pita or flat breads
(in your bakery or deli section)
Black olives sliced
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and beginning to turn golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add tomatoes, corn, vinegar, salt and pepper; cook, stirring often, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Place pitas on a baking sheet. Bake until starting to crisp, about 5 minutes. Top with the tomato mixture, olives and cheese. Bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with basil, cut into wedges and serve.
This recipe could also be made on the grill over medium heat. First, heat the pita until crisp. Then add the topping ingredients, precooked as above. Cook until the mozzarella melts.
