The humble can of clams that my friend Tanya and I used to eat with a bowl of vinegar has been transformed into the main ingredient in a garlicky, cheesy pizza in this post. I first made this pizza because I was reading up on foods that are high in iron. Clams are quite high in iron and I was low in it, not passing the finger prick test at the blood donor clinic. So this simple pizza is delicious as well as giving me a boost in iron.
Clam Pizza
1 can of baby clams
1 - 2 cloves of garlic minced
2 tbsp of olive oil
salt (I prefer course sea salt)
2 tbsp of Italian parsley
1 9inch pizza dough (I sometimes use naan bread or tortillas in a pinch)
1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese or marble
a few lemon slices
Brush the olive oil over the dough, then sprinkle the garlic and the salt evenly. Drain your clams well and spread over the pizza in an even layer. Top with your parsley and then your cheese. If using a dough, cook on 400 for about 20 minutes. If using naan or tortilla, cook on 350 for about 15 minutes. Serve with wedges of lemon.
