Preheat oven to
450°F. Combine oil, ginger, onion, pumpkin,
potato and spice mix in a baking dish, bake
15 minutes or until tender.
Place pita breads
on oven trays, spread with split pea mixture,
top with vegetables. Bake 15 minutes or until
bases are crisp. Serve pizzas topped with rocket
and drizzled with combined yogurt and mint.
Serves 4.
NOTE: Look for
wild rocket leaves at greengrocers that stock
gourmet lettuce. If unavailable, use baby rocket
leaves instead.
Yellow and green
split peas are a variety of common garden pea
that, once picked, has been peeled, split in
half and dried. They do not keep their shape
when cooked, so are most commonly used in soups
or stews or, as here, to make a paste or purée.
Split pea mixture
can be made a day ahead.
