Prep Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
Watch Top Chef Lee Anne Wong prepare this recipe in her online video series "The Wong Way To Cook"!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a saucepan, mix your tomato paste and tomato puree over low heat. Add onion, garlic, oregano, and basil. Top with wine, cover, and simmer for thirty minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool slightly and set aside.
On your pitas, drizzle a dash of olive oil with salt and pepper and spread evenly.
Use amount of sauce to taste, and the toppings you prefer. Here, Lee Anne combines mozzarella slices with fresh tomatoes, prosciutto and the arugula topping. Another pizza is plain melted mozzarella cheese, and the last is a mixture of olives and sausage.
Add toppings to taste and place in oven. Cook just until cheese is melted and crust is crisp.
Ingredients:
Pizza sauce:
8 oz. tomato paste
6–8 pureed tomatoes
1-3 oz. onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 grams oregano, finely chopped
30 grams basil, finely chopped
2 oz red wine
Crust:
4 whole wheat pita bread rounds
salt and pepper
1/4 cup of olive oil
*Prepared beforehand
Suggested Toppings:
2 cups of low-fat shredded mozzarella or 4-6 slices of fresh mozzarella
1 oz chicken sausage or prosciutto or 1/2 cup cooked chicken pieces
5-6 calamata olives, pitted
2 roma tomatoes, thinly sliced and seasoned with salt
2 cups of low-fat shredded mozzarella or 4-6 slices of fresh mozzarella
greens mixture: 1 cup of arugula, sprig of purple basil, dash of lemon juice

I love Top Chef. It would be great to have a special episode where they show, in detail, how ordinary people could prepare some of the dishes on the show. Like Tom would do on Queer Eye. Thanks.
