In Italy every pizzeria has 'Pizza Capricciosa' on its menu, and the original recipe contains ham.
This month edition of Food in Colors is about vegetarian recipes in Red and Green, and I think to bake a vegetarian version of the famous pizza. I used onion instead of ham, and the result was really surprising.

You can't cook a pizza without oregano, and I used the greek oregano harvested last summer. The little white flowers of greek oregano were on the first header of this blog. It's a strong and productive plant, and its flavour is more strong than the usual oregano.

Shell peas and wash them. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the sliced onion and fry 5 minutes. Add the peas, cover with water and cook until tender.
Roll the dough out thin and put in a greased baking pan.
