"This is the final recipe I am entering from the *Microwave* cookbook of the Australian Womens Weekly cookbook series & it's such a unique idea. The recipe is shown as written, but the writers noted that variations are endless as you cater to pers pref of your family. It is meant to be a kid-pleaser & family-friendly recipe & IMO would make a fun weekend cooking nite as ea family member designs their own individual crustless pizza. Times shown include ingredient prep & cooking the pizzas in 2 batches. *Enjoy* !"

Serves:: 6

ingredients

453.59 g ground pork (as lean as you can get & may sub beef)
177.44 ml breadcrumbs
1 onion (finely chopped)
1 garlic clove (crushed)
4.92 ml paprika
1.23 ml dried oregano
9.85 ml soy sauce
118.29 ml tomato paste
4.92 ml sugar
2.46 ml dried basil
85.04 g mushrooms (sliced)
12 grape tomatoes (sliced)
12 black olives (sliced)
1 green pepper (sml size, chopped)
157.80 ml mozzarella cheese (shredded)
44.37 ml parmesan cheese (grated)

directions

In a mixing bowl, combine 1st 7 ingredients (grd pork thru soy sauce). Mix well & press into 6 microwave-safe dishes (see note below Re dish sizes).
Mix tomato paste w/sugar + dried basil & spread evenly over meat mixture in ea of the 6 dishes.
Divide sliced mushrooms, tomatoes & olives + chopped green pepper among ea soon-to-be pizza.
Cook 3 pizzas at a time on MED-HIGH for 3 minutes. During this time, divide cheeses into 2 batches, ea with 1/3 cup mozzarella & 1 1/2 tbsp parmesan.
At the end of the 3 min, rotate dishes & evenly distribute 1 batch of the cheeses over the 3 dishes. Cook another 3 minutes on MED-HIGH or till grd meat is fully cooked & cheeses are melted.
Repeat cooking process for the 3 remaining pizzas & drain off any oil or juices from all pizzas b4 serving.
NOTE RE DISH SIZE: The size of your microwave may be relevant here, but I used 5 1/2 in shallow glass bowls when I made these. Oval-shaped individual gratin dishes would work & the writers also mentioned deep saucers up to 6 1/2 in in diameter.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve w/a family favorite salad + garlic bread, breadsticks or even halved & toasted pita pockets spread w/garlic butter. Letting the family vote on this might be another fun option. :-).

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
