As one graduates in the art of cooking, there is a realization that you can do only so much with a similar set of ingredients. To venture out and try new cuisines and recipes, one would most likely need to use newer ingredients which are not very commonly used in Indian cooking.
Two of such ingredients we have recently become very fond of are - kalamata (black) olives and fresh mozzarella cheese. Easily availability of fresh mozzarella cheese in India has completely changed our cooking aperture. We use it pretty often now and just love to have it in any form. We had recently tried these two ingredients in the form of the Italian Pesto Pizza. This time we experimented with a sort of a Mediterranean recipe by making a flatbread / pizza by making an olive based spread. This is a great snack for any menu setting!
