Here goes:
1 medium precooked sourdough pizza crust (or other of your choice)
12 ounces chopped chard
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tsp fresh grated garlic clove (or more if you like)
2 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup dried tomatoes (I dried from the garden)
3-4 Tbsp water
Feta cheese
In a medium pan put greens, water to cover and salt. Simmer 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a pan on low gently heat oil and garlic. allow to infuse for 3 minutes. Add rosemary, pepper and tomatoes. Toss together. Add water and cover. When greens are done strain and press water out. Add to tomato pan. Toss together and keep over low heat until water is absorbed. Spread on pizza crust. Top with feta cheese and bake in a 450 degree oven 7-10 minutes until done.
Olive oil is a healthy oil. We should all know that we need generous amounts of HEALTHY fats in our diet every day to aid in weight loss, help hormone regulation, encourage healthy heart function, and in reducing cancer.
Garlic has been used for centuries as a medicine that helps fight infection and helps clean the blood.
Dark green leafy vegetables are, calorie for calorie, perhaps the most concentrated source of nutrition of any food. They are a rich source of minerals (including iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium) and vitamins, including vitamins K, C, E, and many of the B vitamins. They also provide a variety of phytonutrients including beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which protect our cells from damage and our eyes from age-related problems, among many other effects. Dark green leaves even contain small amounts of Omega-3 fats.
So you see, pizza can be tasty, filling and nutritious. Enjoy!
