Instructions
Peel and finely chop 1⁄2 clove of garlic and leave the remaining half untouched. Chop the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Chop the very top and bottom from the courgette and slice in half lengthways. Slice each half lengthways again into 5 lengths and then dice into 2cm cubes.
Pre-heat your grill to high heat and heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Add only the chopped garlic and cook for a minute before adding the tinned tomatoes. Add 1⁄2 tsp of the smoked paprika, 1⁄4 tsp salt, a pinch of pepper and 1⁄2 tsp of sugar (if you have some). Bubble away on medium-low heat until you have a thick sauce.
Slice your ciabatta loaves in half and grill on both sides. Once they have browned off rub the half clove of garlic into the flat sides.
The tomato sauce is ready when thickend up. Spread the tomato sauce evenly on all the ciabatta halves. Sprinkle on your courgette cubes and a few cherry tomato quarters (but save some for your salad). Tear the mozzarella with your fingers and lay across the top.
Drizzle a little olive oil on top of each pizza. Grill on high heat until the cheese has melted and everything is well browned.
Meanwhile mix the rocket and remaining cherry tomatoes with 2 tsp olive oil. Tear in a few leaves of basil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Take the pizzas from under the grill, sprinkle over the remaining smoked paprika and tear on some basil leaves. Serve with your rocket side salad.
