published by shanthu on Nov 8, 2009

A satisfying after-school or in-between-meal time snack. You may also like to add these buns to a main meal.

QUICK PIZZA BUNS

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 burger buns (approx 3 1/2)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • Green chillies to taste, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped
  • ½  teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup or tomato-chilli sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 tablespoons grated cheese

 

OPTIONAL ADD-ONS:

  • Finely chopped capsicum
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Olives
  • Cooked, chopped chicken
  • Ham
  • Sausages or bacon
  • Chopped pineapple
  • Crumbled cottage cheese

 

METHOD:

  • Slit the buns in half horizontally
  • Put the oil in a shallow microwave-safe dish and heat at 100% power for 2 minutes.
  • Drop in the onion, chillies and garlic, and continue to cook at the same power level for 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, oregano, puree, ketchup. Cook uncovered at 100% power for 5 minutes stirring once. Add salt and pepper.
  • Put some tomato mixture on each bun, sprinkle over the preferred add-ons and the grated cheese.
  • Preheat the oven at MW + Grill (100% + Grill). Put the Crusty Plate in for 3-4 minutes.
  • Lay the buns on it on the high rack and continue to cook till the cheese is melted and browned to your satisfaction, 5-7 minutes.
  • If your oven does not have this facility, lay the buns on an ordinary microwave-safe plate and cook at 100% power for 4 minutes.
  • You may also like to toast the buns lightly before spreading with the tomato mixture.
