The inspiration for this recipe came from Sophie Grigson and William Black's '''''Organic''''' cookbook ISBN0 747272204

I wanted something to use this year's meagre crop of giant [[Asparagus|asparagus]], so this recipe seemed an ideal candidate.

The giant [[Asparagus|asparagus]] is a little on the woody side so it needs much more cooking than normal.

Eveything else was from either a fridge or a garden raid. We have our own hens so that's a help!

{{RecipeIngredients

| 5 or 6 spears of giant [[Asparagus|asparagus]]
| 1 [[Green bell pepper|green bell pepper]], [[Roasted sweet peppers|roasted]] de-seeded and roughly chopped
| 220 g of [[Goat|goat]]'s [[Cheese|cheese]]
| 4 tablespoons of [[Tomato sauce|tomato sauce]] - see Chef's notes below
| 2 [[Hard boiled eggs|hard boiled eggs]], peeled but left whole
| A handful of [[Fresh herbs|fresh herbs]], chopped
| [[Extra virgin olive oil]]
| [[Sea Salt|sea salt]] and [[Freshly ground black pepper|freshly ground black pepper]]

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Chop the [[Asparagus|asparagus]] diagonally in 2cm slices, discarding the woodier parts from lower down.
** Normal [[Asparagus|asparagus]] can be left whole and [[Blanched|blanched]] for about 3 to 4 minutes.
* [[Boil]] the [[Asparagus|asparagus]] for 10 to 12 minutes
* [[Roast]] the [[Sweet Pepper|pepper]] - [[Roasted sweet peppers|see here]]
* Make the [[Pizza dough|pizza dough]]
* Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 220° C (425° F - gas 7), [fan oven 200° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour]
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Make 1 pizza per person
| Roll the [[Dough|dough]] out into two circles
| Divide the fillings into two portions, one for each pizza
| Spread the [[Tomato sauce|tomato sauce]] on to one half of the circle, leaving the edge free from [[Sauce|sauce]]
| [[Crumble]] the [[Cheese|cheese]] over the [[Sauce|sauce]]
| Sprinkle the chopped [[Herbs|herbs]], [[Asparagus|asparagus]] and [[Green peppers|green peppers]] over the [[Sauce|sauce]]
| Pop the [[Egg|egg]] in the middle, season with [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]] and give a final drizzle of [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| [[Brush]] the clean edge with water or [[Milk|milk]] so it helps to make a good seal
| Fold the [[Pizza|pizza]] [[Calzone folding]]
| [[Bake]] for about 20 minutes
}}
===Variations===
* These pizzas are so versatile that you can put almost anything in them. They will get hot enough to melt the cheese but anything that might need pre-cooking needs to be done outside of the pizza. They get ''just'' hot enough to cook a raw egg if that's any help.
===Chef's notes===
As we make [[Pizzas|pizzas]] so often, I divide up homemade [[Tomato sauce|tomato sauce]] into single-[[Pizza|pizza]]-portions and [[Freeze|freeze]] them in small bags. If I've no homemade [[Sauce|sauce]], I [[Cheat|cheat]] and use a few tablespoons from a bottle of ready made [[Pasta sauce|pasta sauce]] and freeze the remainder as above.
