QUICK & EASY  WEEKNIGHT WONDERS

A bonus for butter chicken lovers—this richly flavoured sauce can sub for Italian tomato sauce on a quick-making, easy-eating pizza. Supermarkets stock several brands. You can have fun with this recipe, adding your own fa- vourite toppings. The ones we suggest make for a gorgeous multicoloured pizza with just a little heat. 1 ball (650 g) store-bought pizza dough ¾ cup (175 mL) butter chicken cooking sauce 15 multicoloured cherry or grape tomatoes, halved 2 thin slices red onion, sliced in half ½ red or yellow bell pepper, sliced in strips 1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and thinly sliced (optional) 2 cups (500 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese, 28% MF 1 cup (250 mL) coriander leaves (optional) 1 Place a rack in bottom third of oven and pre- heat to 450°F (230°C). 2 Oil or spray a 12 x 17-inch (30 x 45-cm) bak- ing sheet (or 12-inch/30-cm pizza pan, if you have one). Place dough on a lightly floured sur- face or nonstick silicone mat. Starting from the centre, roll with a lightly floured rolling pin or press into an oval that will cover most of the pan. If too elastic, cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for 5 minutes; then continue rolling out. Transfer to baking sheet. If necessary, pat out to cover most of the pan. 3 Pour butter chicken sauce over dough and use the back of a spoon to thinly spread overtop, leaving about a ½-inch (1-cm) border. Scatter with tomatoes (cut-side down), separated onion slices, bell peppers and jalapeños. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. 4 Bake until edges are browned and crisp and cheese is golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Using a met- al spatula, lift a corner of the pizza to check if bottom is nicely browned. Scatter with corian- der if you like. Slice and serve. Serves 3 to 4 EASY INDIAN PIZZA

BUTTER CHICKEN COOKING SAUCE Popular for its velvety texture and slight tanginess, this mild sauce is great tossed with spinach ravioli, poured over asparagus or spooned on fish before baking.
