Instructions: In this recipe, the vegetables are cooked in a flavorful citrus-vermouth mixture. You can, however, skip the procedure and use plain steamed or sauteted vegetables. A strong extra-virgin olive oil is a must for flavor, as its drizzled over the pizza at the very end.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add zucchini, squash, and bell pepper; reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes. Add mushrooms; simmer 2 minutes. Drain well; discard liquid and peppercorns. Place pizza crust on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle with half of beta; top with vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with remaining feta and parsley. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated (cheese will not melt). Drizzle with olive oil.
