Easy Pizza

I cook meals from scratch most nights and we very rarely have takeaways or eat out, which can become a bit exhausting in the kitchen if I'm totally honest. Sometimes I just want to make something quick, but still want it to be tasty and not out of a box that I've plucked from the freezer.

Warburtons wraps have many uses, including as an alternative for naan bread with a curry as well as being great for making quick pizzas.  You can add whatever toppings you like but one of the favourites here is mozzarella, red pepper and pepperoni, with added Jalapenos for the adults.

The tomato sauce is simply made from a good quality ketchup mixed with red pesto and smothered over the wrap.

Add slices of mozzarella, pepperoni, peppers and a sprinkling of dried oregano.

Bake in a 180C oven for approx 10 mins and then serve with salad for a quick lunch or dinner.

Chorizo and Pepper Fried Rice

Last month I reviewed Degustabox, the monthly subscription surprise food box, but I was a little disappointed with it as not many of the contents were suited to us. However, as with all things like this, it's swings and roundabouts and what one person likes might not be suited to another and I saw lots of positive comments on the Degustabox Facebook page from very happy customers.

This month the box was very much more suited to us, filled with crisps, crackers, chutney, malt loaf and chocolate biscuits there was plenty to like.

 

Contents of the box

Ryvita chilli thin bites
Ryvita cheddar & cracked pepper thin bites
English Provender Co damson & port chutney

Tyrell's apple crisps

Peppadew peppers

I particularly enjoyed the Bahlsen biscuits and Tyrell's cinnamon apple crisps, which were so light and crispy, nothing like the dried apple that I was expecting. You can find more details on the products and previous boxes here.

I decided to use the jar of Peppadew sweet peppers in a rice dish for the family. It's a really quick recipe using pre-cooked basmati rice.

Chorizo and Pepper Fried Rice - serves 4/5

2 tbsp Olive oil
