Ingredients

Scale

About 1 tbsp olive oil

1 red onion

Fresh basil

stems for the sauce

1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

1 tsp dried herbs

2 flatbreads or naans

Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent.
  2. Add the whole basil stems, chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and dried herbs. Simmer for about 20 minutes to develop flavors.
  3. While the sauce simmers, preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
  4. Prepare the flatbreads by brushing them with olive oil and sprinkling with sea salt and dried herbs.
  5. Spread a layer of the tomato sauce on each flatbread, then top with mozzarella slices, fresh tomato slices, and cherry tomatoes if using.
