There’s a sense of fulfilment and pride that comes with preparing your own food at home. Especially that which you would normally have to buy. If you have kids they’d think you’re super mum and have bragging rights to their friends, who could also hit back and say my mum can also make that! If you don’t have kids, your friends and loved ones will definitely think you’re a force to be reckoned with in the kitchen! Today we’re making homemade pizza. One of the great things about making your own pizza is that you can put just about any topping you like! The star of our dish today is Royal Ocean pilchards in tomato sauce. We’ll get right to it. Update: for the peppers pimentos or sweet peppers are often used as an alternative to bell peppers. You may learn more about pimentos here.
