Why order in? The barbecue's high heat blisters the crust in just the right way, giving the look and taste of pizza from a wood-burning oven. This recipe makes enough for a starter or side dish, but you could easily double or triple as needed for a main course.
Ingredients
2 ripe but firm plum tomatoes
1 small zucchini
2 green onions
olive oil
pinches (generous) salt
pinches (generous) black pepper
pinches (generous) dried basil leaves
1 large Greek-style flat pita
1/2 cup goat cheese, or crumbled feta
Instructions
Lightly oil grill and preheat barbecue to medium high. Thickly slice tomatoes. Cut zucchini diagonally into long ovals. Place in a large bowl along with whole green onions. Drizzle with just enough oil to coat. Sprinkle with seasonings. Stir to coat. Brush 1 side of pita with oil.
Place the vegetables on grill and barbecue until tender and lightly charred, 2-5 minutes per side, removing them as they are done.
Next, place pita on grill and barbecue, with lid closed, just until grill marks form, 1-2 minutes per side. Crumble goat cheese over hot pita, then arrange tomatoes and zucchini on top. Slice onions and scatter overtop.
