grilled pizza


while this picture is a belated summer dish, it looked so lonely sitting in "my pictures" folder with no attention. So here's a recipe that you can still do out in the snow this winter, just bundle up at the BBQ or you can use your oven's broiler for the same effect.

  • using naan or other flat bread, begin by grilling one side until slightly crispy (to prevent from getting soggy after adding toppings)
  • spread a thin layer of pesto, and add sliced marinated mozzarella.
  • Then top with a cornucopia of various grilled veggies. (I used red onions & tomatoes.)
  • Sprinkle some sliced fresh figs, coarsely chopped basil, grilled flank steak & feta on the top-
  • grill with closed top for about 4 mins or until cheese is melted.
  • Before serving give a drizzle of strawberry balsamic vinegar or balsamic reduction to add a nice ZING to the overall flavor.
voila! a gourmet dinner for two in less than 30 mins. oh, and don't forget a nice bottle of Amarone or Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley would go nicely.
