Calzone
This weekend I wanted to cook something that would be quick but would at the same time make me very happy. I thought of calzone. A calzone is nothing but basically a folded pizza so that the toppings become the filling. It has been a long time since I had any and I do not really particularly agree with the calzone’s that most commercial pizza chains sell here anyway. So I made my favourite kind, roasted eggplant calzone. I would have added chicken but there were two problems, one I did not have any and second I was too lazy to cook it. So I settled for the next best thing—Chicken Ham.
I have added Tomatoes, green Bell Peppers, and Gouda Cheese to the calzone. Usually the cheese that goes in to the calzone is a soft cheese like Ricotta with something like Mozzarella thrown in. However the quality of Mozzarella is terrible here so I completely skip it. Imported things are quite out of my price range so I settle for some cheap Indian made Gouda, which is quite decent. Unfortunately since its warm these days an I often feel exhausted due to the heat by the end of the day I sat a bit too long outside in the veranda in my favourite cane chair with a glass of Iced tea and it was a tad over done. I think I am thinking of doing a spinach calzone next time.
