10

can
plum (Roma) tomatoes, drained and

|
|
|
|
salt
and freshly ground black pepper |

|
|
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. |

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. |
