In this easy-peasy pizza, mild chorizo adds just the right amount of saltiness, and an umami-rich flavour to the pumpkin, while the roasted tomatoes provide sweetness, juiciness and acidity to cut through the richness. Farmers across Australia are still experiencing the impacts of the recent heavy rains. This is affecting our supply of fresh veggies and as such, you may notice some changes to your ingredients.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Place peeled & chopped pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: If your tray is getting crowded, divide the pumpkin between two trays.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice mild chorizo. Halve cherry tomatoes (see ingredients). • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chorizo, tossing, until just browned, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook tomato paste and garlic & herb seasoning, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in the water, then simmer until slightly thickened, 1 minute. Season to taste.
• Place pizza bases on a flat surface, rough side down. Spread evenly with tomato sauce using the back of a spoon. Top with roast pumpkin, chorizo and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese. • Place pizzas directly on a wire rack in the oven. Bake until cheese is melted and golden, 10-12 minutes. • Meanwhile, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season, then add rocket leaves. Toss to coat.
TIP: Baking the pizzas directly on the wire rack helps the bases crisp up!
TIP: Place an oven tray underneath the wire rack to catch any drips!
• Slice chorizo and cherry tomato pizza. • Top pizza with rocket salad, then divide between plates to serve. Enjoy!
