Crust Supreme Pizza aka the Bowel Carcinoma Special

Crust meat supreme pizza with anchovies

For some reason last night I had a craving for pizza. It started at about 8 pm after I’d eaten some baked salmon and coleslaw with pomegranate arils.

So today I’ve been hankering for a pizza. One the way home I stopped in at the Belconnen Crust outlet and bought a Crust Supreme with extra anchovies. Yes, I love those little furry salty dried fish.

So why do I call it a bowel carcinoma special? Well last week I wrote about a recent announcement from the International Agency for Research on Cancer about the causal relationship between eating processed meats and bowel carcinoma. Supreme pizzas tend to be replete with processed meats, especially ham, bacon and sausages. I figure a pizza every now and then isn’t a problem. 

The Crust Supreme contains Smoked Ham, Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, Fresh Capsicum, Spanish Onions, Pineapple & Kalamata Olives on a Tomato base (All pizzas topped with 100% Australian Mozzarella cheese).

I ate the entire pizza. I’ve been known in my youth to eat more than a family sized pizza. I love the stuff.

Do you like pizza? What is your favourite topping? I often prefer a plain cheese, tomato and basil pizza with no meat.

It’s no secret that I like KFC. I’ve enjoyed Kentucky Fried Chicken and KFC for as long as I can remember, even during the 1970s and 1980s when there were rumours that some restaurants used cat instead of chicken. I wonder how Colonel Sanders would feel about a quinoa and KFC casserole. I hope he’d be happy about my making a superfood more super. I’ll let you ponder which item is the superfood

Quinoa and KFC casserole
 
Recipe Type: Dinner
Cuisine: Australian
Author: Gary Lum
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4
I learnt a new word. Mirepoix is 2 parts onion, one part celery and one part carrot.
Ingredients
  • KFC
  • Quinoa
  • Anchovies
  • Celery
  • Leek
  • Carrot
  • Onion
  • White wine
  • Parsley
  • Lemon juice
  • Tomatoes (2)
Instructions
  1. I cooked this in a casserole
  2. I had the oven at 150 °C and cooked everything for about 2 hours
  3. I sautéed the onion and leek and added the mixture to diced carrot and celery in the casserole
  4. I broke up the meat from the chicken and added it
  5. I added the quinoa uncooked (I had about ½ cup)
  6. I chopped the tomatoes and added them
  7. I added the lemon juice, a cup of white wine and enough water to see it peeking through
  8. I covered the casserole with some baking paper before adding the lid (I do this because I’m lazy and don’t like cleaning the lid, i.e., I don’t like scrubbing the lid
  9. At the end of cooking I shredded some parsley and tossed it in and mixed it through
  10. I should have added some coconut cream but I have left overs so I’ll do that another time
  11. I plated it up with some coleslaw vegetables
  12. Shoot a photograph
  13. Eat the meal and ponder how it could be better
  14. Wash the dishes
  15. Post the photograph to social media and note the comments asking for the recipe
  16. Write the recipe
  17. Blog (verb)
 

I like adding anchovies to dishes.

A friend from work gave me some homemade quince paste so I ate it as part of a snack with blue cheese, figs and honey.
