RealAge effect if eaten 12 times a year:
Packed with calcium and phytonutrients, each pizza makes your RealAge 8.7 days younger.
RealAge-effect ingredients:
Leeks, tomatoes (calcium, phytonutrients, lycopene, folic acid)
Ingredients:
• 2 large leeks
• Cooking oil spray
• 4 (6-inch) individual pizza crusts, such as Boboli brand
• 1⁄2 cup (4 ounces) prepared pizza sauce
• 4 large plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 3⁄4 cup crumbled feta cheese with sun-dried tomatoes, such as Saladena brand
• 1 cup packed coarsely chopped watercress sprigs, stems included
• 1 tablespoon raspberry vinegar
Preparation:
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut white and light green part of leeks into thin slices. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking oil spray; add leeks. Stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
Arrange pizza crusts on a large baking sheet; top with pizza sauce, leeks, and tomatoes. Crush fennel seeds slightly between your fingers and sprinkle over pizzas. Top with 1⁄2 cup of the feta cheese. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese begins to melt.
In a medium bowl, toss watercress with vinegar; sprinkle over pizzas. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat source for 1 to 2 minutes or until wilted. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining 1⁄4 cup feta cheese.
Substitutions:
One 12-inch pizza crust, such as Boboli Thin Crust brand, may replace the four individual crusts; and cider or sherry vinegar may replace raspberry vinegar.
Tips: Fruit vinegar cuts the richness of the cheese and adds another element of sweetness. Adding layers of flavor is a way to make this pizza especially good. Make sure you sauté the leeks until the edges brown; this is the beginning of caramelization, which shows the natural sweetness of the leeks.
