Artichoke Pizza

This is an excellent Meatless Monday meal. This meal will not give you leftovers so plan accordingly if you plan leftovers into your weekly meals.

I use marinated artichokes to add a little extra flavor. Because of this I can usually omit the oregano. I have never used a whole 12 oz jar of red peppers, I use about half a jar. Sliced almonds work a little bit better than chopped. Make sure the pitas you use are the pocket kind or else slicing them can be a real pain.

2 pita breads, split horizontally

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

12-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and sliced

6-ounce jar artichokes, drained and cut in half

1/4 cup roasted almonds, chopped

1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar (6 ounces)

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Heat broiler. Arrange the pita halves cut-side up on a broiler proof sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and broil until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.

Top with the red peppers, artichokes, almonds, Cheddar, and oregano. Broil until the cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
