THE PARTHENON!!!


alright, ladies and gentlemen...
this is a recipe i'm holding near and dear to my heart.
when i was in college at the greatest university in the world,
my dear friends and i would order this massively delicious
pizza from avers with breadsticks and loganberry drink.
just thinking of it makes my mouth salivate.
so clearly i decided that i needed to try and make this pizza.
i needed to recreate it since they don't deliver to indy....why not???

so...here it is....homemade parthenon...

THE PARTHENON

for the sauce
3/4 cup olive oil
garlic
flour
Parmesan cheese
red pepper flakes
parsley
oregano
salt

for the pizza
a pizza crust
green pepper
tomato
black olives
feta
purple onion

how to make
i used store bought thin crust pizza crust, but if you're really
martha stewart-ish make your own!

in a food processor combine all of the ingredients for the sauce.
as for everything other than the olive oil, do it to taste.
how much oregano do you like?
are you a huge fan of Parmesan? i don't know!
i personally put in a lot of parm, a decent amount of red pepper,
about 2 tsp of flour (to thicken it up), 1 1/2 tsp of garlic,
and lots of shakes of everything else.
but those are my tastebuds.
after you've added all of the ingredients,
mix well in a food processor and let sit while you chop everything else.

chop 1 whole tomato.
dice 1 1/2 cups of black olives (or however much you want
to cover the pizza)
dice 1/2 a green pepper
dice a bit of onion.

spread all of the sauce over the crust.
spread all of the chopping ingredients over the crust.
spread lots of feta cheese over the pizza.
and bake!!

then, pop in some felicity, get your best friends together, and enjoy...
(i wish!)

too bad someone can't figure out how to recreate loganberry...
