Antoinette Muto of Los Angeles, California, writes: "My business partner and I own a company that makes costumes for the film industry. When we are involved in a huge project — as we were with Minority Report and X2 — we work very long days, and sometimes even on weekends. So I don't have much time to cook or even to go out for lunch or dinner. That's when my no-fiddling cooking style comes in handy. I cut corners when I can — without sacrificing flavor. I prepare all-vegetarian meals, using the freshest ingredients from the farmers' market, and I really get a kick out of seeing people come over to my house and not miss the meat one bit."

Look for soft lavash — a large, thin rectangular bread (about 18x12 inches) — in Middle Eastern markets or in the bread section of most supermarkets. Two 11- to 12-inch- diameter flour tortillas can be substituted.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1 soft lavash bread
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup minced pitted Kalamata olives
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 3/4 cups crumbled feta cheese
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 cup diced seeded plum tomatoes

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler. Place lavash on large baking sheet; brush with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Broil until lavash just begins to crisp, about 1 minute.

    Step 2

    Reduce oven temperature to 450°F. Turn lavash over on baking sheet, broiled side down. Brush with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Spread with olives; sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese and feta cheese, then mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until pizza is heated through and cheeses melt, about 10 minutes. Cut into squares.
