Aubergine, Green Olive, and Provolone Pizza

This aubergine, green olive, and provolone pizza offers a sophisticated twist on a vegetarian classic by using the grill to impart a deep, smoky flavour. The combination of tender grilled aubergine and the punchy saltiness of green olives creates a rich, savoury topping that contrasts beautifully with the crisp, golden crust. Using shop-bought dough makes this an accessible option for outdoor entertaining without compromising on quality.

Perfect for a casual summer dinner or as a shared appetiser for friends, this dish highlights the versatility of the barbecue beyond simple skewers. The provolone adds a lovely nutty melt, while fresh flat-leaf parsley provides a burst of colour and brightness. Serve it hot from the grill with a crisp green salad and a glass of chilled white wine for a complete Mediterranean-inspired feast.
