saturday lunch at home



I don't make lunch..I go out to lunch. Today I made lunch. For lunch today we had my Ciabatta Pesto Pizza. Whenever I make this "pizza" I wonder why I don't make it more often. To make this delicous lunch first you need to go to the store and buy the freshest Ciabatta bread you can find. Today we lucked out, when we got the bread at Whole Foods it was still warm from the oven. Cut the loaf in 1/2 then slice down the middle. Saute some onion, yellow pepper, orange pepper, zucchini and garlic in olive oil with some herbs de provence. Load on the pesto and then dump the veg mix on top. Bake in the oven 350 degrees for about 10 minutes til the bread gets toasty. Eat 1/2 for lunch. Eat the other 1/2 for dinner...if you are only serving this for two people. It could feed 4 if you make a really nice salad to go with it for dinner. Delicious.

Yum! I'll have to try this. I've wanted to try baking my own ciabattas but never seem to get around to it.
