Spring Vegetable Calzone

 

 

An Italian favorite...
 

 

 

refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)

 

4 Tbs 

 

extra-virgin olive oil, divided

 

1 medium 

 

yellow onion, sliced

 

1 cup 

 

shelled English peas (or frozen peas)

 

¼ lb 

 

green beans, trimmed and cut into ½-inch pieces

 

1 large 

 

carrot, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces

 

¾ lb 

 

asparagus, top 2 inches of each spear cut on diagonal into ½-inch slices (the rest discarded)

 

10 oz. 

 

can plum (Roma) tomatoes, drained and chopped

 

 

 

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

1 Tbs 

 

minced fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 450°F. If using a baking stone, place in the oven now.

2

In a frying pan over medium heat, warm 3 Tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté, stirring constantly, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the peas, green beans, carrot, asparagus, and tomatoes and continue cooking until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley.

3

Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, shape each piece into a round about 6 inches in diameter. Arrange one-fourth of the vegetable mixture atop half of each round, leaving a ½-inch border uncovered. Brush the edges of each round with a little water and fold over the uncovered half to enclose the filling completely. Press the edges together to seal. Transfer the calzones to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F. and bake until the crust is golden, about 10 minutes longer. Drizzle the remaining 1 Tablespoon oil over the tops and serve immediately.
