Gavin's tofu mushroom scallion pizza

At the age of 5 in 2002, Gavin asked for this in specific detail, even though I'd never made anything like it before. But it's delicious, and he continues to ask for it. His first original recipe! In July 2005, it was featured on Zorba Paster on your Health on Public Radio International!

Sauté in a teaspoon or so of canola oil

• 3-4 sliced mushrooms
• some firm drained tofu cut in 3/8" cubes (slice a 3/8" slice off the end of a block of tofu and dice it)
• one scallion ("Only the green part; you keep the white part.") or 6-8 chives, chopped.

On a 6" round of pita bread,

• spread a teaspoon or two of basil pesto
• sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese to cover.

Spread the sautéed mixture on top of the pizza base, and broil on a pizza stone in the oven at 325° Fahrenheit until lightly browned (around 10 minutes).
