About Mushroom And Tri Capsicum Pizza ( Healthy Diabetic Recipe )

Ingredients

Methods

Nutrient values

Replete with the three hues of capsicum, this pizza is as much a visual treat as it is a culinary one! Readymade pizza bases are made using refined flour (maida), which is very unhealthy, but here is a delectable, healthy option made with wholemeal pizza bases, that not even the diet-conscious can deny.

Compared to the pizza made from maida, this nutritious nibble gives only 104 calories per pizza, making it an undoubtedly healthy option.

Ingredients

For The Topping

1 tsp olive oil or any other

1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (khumb)

45659 medium sliced capsicum

45659 medium sliced red capsicum

45659 medium sliced yellow capsicum

salt to taste

Other Ingredients

null null None

1/2 cup Pizza sauce

1 tbsp red chilli sauce

1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

salt to taste

Method

Disclaimer:

It is highly recommended that this recipe be relished by diabetics only occasionally and in small quantities. This is just a mere ‘treat’ and does not qualify for a regular diabetic menu.

For the topping

Heat ½ tsp of olive oil in a deep non-stick pan, add the mushrooms and salt and sauté on a medium flame till they are soft. Remove and keep aside.
In the same pan, add remaining ½ tsp of olive oil, add the all three coloured capsicum and salt, mix gently and sauté on a medium flame for 4 to 5 minutes, while stirring continuously. Keep aside.

Handy tip:

To make it look more attractive you can arrange the vegetables as shown in the picture; to do so sauté each separately.

How to proceed

Place a pizza base on a greased baking tray, apply ¼ cup of pizza sauce and ½ tbsp of chilli sauce evenly.
Arrange half of the sautéed mushrooms and capsicum, on each quarter of the pizza base
Sprinkle ¼ cup of cheese evenly over the vegetables.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 15 to 20 minutes or till the base is evenly browned.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make one more pizza.
Cut each pizza into 8 equal pieces and serve hot.
