I have a show tomorrow night where she has requested the Antipasto Veg. Pizza. I cooked it tonight for dinner and didn't really like how it turned out.

I didn't like that the artichoke mixture was room temp. and soggy.

do any of you have suggestions on this recipe? I wasn't a consultant when this was a theme show.

TIA!
 
I don't know I've made this once, but had it twice and both times were really yummy. I definitely think you have to like all the ingredients and it's possibly and acquired taste. But at the show I was at where I had it, everyone seemed to like it, and I made it for my mother in law recently and she thought it was great and asked me for the recipe! It is kind of weird, but you have to just give it a chance.
 
Everyone I have ever made this for has raved about it! (Even people who have told me they don't like zucchini or artichokes!)I am not sure what to do about the mixture being room temp, but as for the sogginess, when you are scooping the mixture out onto the pizza, you can sort of use the Mix N Scraper to drain off some of the liquid before putting it on. HTH.
 
Just make sure when you scoop the mixture onto the pizza crust that you drain it well. I made it a few weeks back and had some leftovers and the crust didn't get soggy (which I figured it would). Maybe that's the trick!
