I debated about posting the whole recipe, then decided, what the heck. I'll talk through my modifications and let the reader decide what they want to do to simplify.
Modification #1 - I used a pizza crust from Ratio's by Michael Rhulman. I didn't stick it in the fridge overnight, though that may have helped speed up dinner.
Modification #2 - I had some basic pizza sauce in the freezer from the last time we made pizza.
This was simply excellent. There are so many variations a person could do but we actually stuck with the veggies and cheese suggested. I loved the flavors - especially the eggplant and zucchini highlighed by a turn on the grill and punctuated by the sweetness of the pepper. This is a time consuming pizza so best left for the weekend. I would make this again.
Grilled Vegetable Pizza
Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 2 pieces)
Ingredients
1 cup warm water (100° to 110°), divided
10 ounce bread flour (about 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons)
1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
10 teaspoon olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
12 ounces baby eggplant, cut crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices
1 medium zucchini, cut crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices
1 large red bell pepper, quartered and seeded
3 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup Basic Pizza Sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded fontina cheese
1/4 cup small mint leaves
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Preparation
1. Pour 3/4 cup warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook attached. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups and spoons; level with a knife. Add flour to 3/4 cup water; mix until combined. Cover and let stand 20 minutes. Combine remaining 1/4 cup water and yeast in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly. Add yeast mixture, 4 teaspoons oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to flour mixture; mix 5 minutes or until a soft dough forms. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray; cover surface of dough with plastic wrap lightly coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate 24 hours.
2. Prepare grill to high.
3. Remove dough from refrigerator. Let stand, covered, 1 hour or until dough comes to room temperature. Punch dough down. Press dough out to a 12-inch oval on a lightly floured baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Crimp edges to form a 1/2-inch border. Cover dough loosely with plastic wrap.
4. Brush eggplant, zucchini, and bell pepper with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Grill eggplant 4 minutes on each side or until tender; place in a bowl. Grill zucchini 3 minutes on each side or until tender; add to eggplant. Place pepper quarters, skin side down, on grill rack; grill 6 minutes or until blistered. Place peppers in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel peppers; add to vegetable mixture. Coarsely chop vegetables. Add garlic to vegetables; toss to combine.
5. Place pizza dough, cornmeal side up, on grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill for 4 minutes or until blistered. Turn dough over; grill 3 minutes. Remove from grill. Spread Basic Pizza Sauce evenly over top side of crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Arrange vegetable mixture evenly over sauce; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Top with cheese. Return pizza to grill rack, and grill for 4 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Cut pizza into 10 pieces; sprinkle with mint and thyme.
Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa (Ckng Lght July 2010) 4.0
This was pretty quick and refreshingly light on a hot summer evening. I just realized though, that I missed most of the seasonings in the salsa! Still, it was very tasty with mango, onion, cilantro and red tomatoes. We also used cod instead of tilapia as I had some in the freezer and I seasoned one filet with Penzey's BBQ 3000 and the other with Penzey's Northwoods Seasoning (I wanted to use up the jar). Both were tasty. This does only feed two.
