What I Ate Today

I’m not entirely sure if this is technically a pizza or a tart. It’s was a pretty nice lunchtime snack though. Firstly, cook and mash 4oz potato, let it cool. In a pan melt some butter and fry a sliced onion until golden. Let it cool. Rub 3oz butter into 5oz plain flour. Once you’ve got ‘breadcrumbs’ add the onion with any juice from the pan. Add the potatoes, season and knead into dough.

Roll out the dough into mini pizza bases, place on a baking sheet. Lightly fry some chopped shallots and mushrooms. We used some tinned artichoke – make sure you rinse these thoroughly or they’ll taste quite salty. Since we’re in Wiltshire we used some Wiltshire ham. Add it all and stick it in a 200C oven for 25 mins. We had ours cold but it’s probably a lot nicer slightly warmed.
