it doesn’t take much to convince me to add a little spicy chorizo to a dish. chorizo is one of those fool-proof ingredients that will perk up most any meal… breakfast, lunch or dinner. (believe me, i’ve tried!) though i have yet to see chorizo make an appearance in a dessert!
the spicy chorizo made this pizza really sing. easypeasy dinner and the leftover cold pizza was perfect for lunch the next day. no complaints here. :)
- preheat oven to 400F
prep the dough:
- sprinkle some whole-wheat flour on a clean surface before rolling out the fresh pizza dough (i bought some fresh from the bakery.)
- using a rolling pin, flatten out the dough into a thin, round pie
- sprinkle some more flour on the dough pie, flip over before applying the rolling pin again
- place the prepped dough pie on a pizza stone (at room temperature) or a lightly-greased, round baking pan
prep the toppings:
- 5-6 slices of spicy chorizo (thinly sliced rounds)
- 3-4 crimini mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 sprig of green onions (rooted stems removed, rough chop into sliced rounds)
- fresh mozzarella (grated)
prep the pie:
- spread 2 tbsp plain, low-fat greek yogurt evenly on pizza dough
- lightly drizzle hot sauce
- season w/ ground black peppercorns
- add spicy chorizo, then green onions & mushrooms
- sprinkle mozzarella (grated) evenly over toppings
- season w/ ground black peppercorns
bake the pie:
- bake flatbread at 400F for 20min, or until crust is golden brown
- remove from oven & allow to cool on rack before slicing
food styling:
- serve w/ organic mixed greens on the side
- pairs nicely w/ your fave cabernet sauvignon
Yum! Perfect recipe for a Friday night!
my thoughts exactly. :)
Normally I’m a veggie pizza guy, but for this I’m making an exception! Looks great.
