An easy to assemble pizza which is perfect for a midweek supper dish - omit the chillies if you are serving this to young children or to people who dislike spicy food. On the table in under 15 minutes and piled high with tasty ingredients. Alternative cheeses can be used in place of the goat's cheese, but it does go very well with the tomatoes and chorizo sausage.
Ingredients
- 1 x 150g pizza base (I used Napolina Pizzeria Pizza Base)
- 2 tablespoons tomato purée
- 2 vine tomatoes (sliced thinly and then cut into half)
- 4 green chillies (from a jar, cut into small pieces)
- 1/2 red onion (peeled and finely sliced)
- 50g chorizo sausage (skinned, and cut into rounds)
- 60g Capricorn soft goat's cheese (cut into small pieces)
- fresh thyme
- salt and black pepper
- olive oil

Directions
| Step 1 | Remove Pizza Base from outer packaging & place on a lightly greased baking tray. |
| Step 2 | Spread the tomato purée over the base and arrange the chillies, onions, tomatoes, chorizo and goat's cheese over the top. Add some freshly chopped fresh thyme leaves and season to taste with salt and pepper - then drizzle the olive oil over the whole pizza and topping. |
| Step 3 | Place the pizza in preheated oven (220ºC, 425ºF) & bake for 10 minutes until crisp & golden. Remove pizza carefully from oven & ensure it is piping hot before serving with salad. |
