12 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, seeds (not cores) removed
1/4 cup good olive oil, plus more for drizzling

2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 ounces fresh salted mozzarella
12 fresh basil leaves, julienned

Categories     Dinner

Time 29m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes (halved (heirloom tomatoes or Roma tomatoes would also work))
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup fresh basil leaves (loosely packed - more to use as a garnish at the end)
3 cloves of garlic (minced)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb. store-bought pizza dough (thawed if frozen)
8 oz. fresh mozzarella, cut/torn into small pieces ((227 grams))
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic reduction (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the oven rack at the very top setting and preheat the oven to 450 F (232C) degrees.
  • Place tomatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Give them a toss. Roast until tomatoes start to burst, 9-10 minutes. Set aside. Do not turn the oven off.
  • Place a sheet pan or a pizza stone on the top shelf in your oven.
  • While the tomatoes are roasting make the basil mixture. To do so, place basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to break it into smaller pieces. While the machine is running, drizzle it with olive oil. You may have to scrape the sides with a spatula a few times to turn it into a paste.
  • Roll the pizza dough into a 14.5-inch circle. Spread it evenly with the basil mixture leaving an inch on the sides. The basil sauce will be a very thin layer. Scatter the roasted tomatoes and mozzarella pieces on top. Lightly brush the sides with olive oil.
  • Using a pizza peel or the back of a sheet pan, carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated sheet pan or pizza stone. Bake 12-14 minutes or until the cheese is totally melted and the sides turned golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle it with fresh basil. Let it rest for a few minutes, cut into 8 slices, drizzle with the balsamic reduction (if using), and enjoy.

1/2 pint grape tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
Handful of fresh basil leaves

  • Meanwhile, combine the mozzarella and tomatoes in a medium bowl. Slice the basil into ribbons and add them to the bowl, along with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt.
  • Transfer the flatbread to a cutting board. Scatter the mozzarella mixture on top. Cut the flatbread lengthwise, then into triangles. Serve immediately.

CAPRESE ANTIPASTO



Caprese Antipasto image

If you have ever eaten a caprese salad and wished that you could linger with it longer, that there were more tomatoes to spear with your fork, or more milky slices of cheese on the plate, then this is the dish for you. Best at the height of tomato season, it embellishes on the classic caprese, taking its five simple elements - mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, salt and olive oil - and adding roasted peppers, caperberries (or capers), olive and prosciutto. The result is a luscious lunch or light dinner that will make your dining companions swoon. You will wonder why you didn't think of it sooner. Serve with a crusty loaf of bread on the side.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     quick, weeknight, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ripe bell peppers, 1 red and 1 yellow if possible
Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound fresh mozzarella, at room temperature
2 pounds ripe tomatoes, in assorted colors if possible
1/2 pound cherry tomatoes, in assorted colors if possible
Handful of caperberries, or 1 tablespoon large capers, rinsed
Handful of good-quality olives
6 thin slices of prosciutto, more if desired
Handful of basil leaves

Steps:

  • To roast peppers, set them directly in the flames of a stovetop gas burner turned to high, or over hot coals if you happen to be grilling. (You could also roast under the broiler, with peppers as close to heat source as possible.) Turn peppers with tongs until skins are blackened and blistered all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a plate and let cool. To peel, cut peppers lengthwise. Scrape seeds and veins away with your knife, then turn peppers over and scrape away charred skin. Slice peeled peppers into 1/2-inch ribbons and place in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss. (Peppers may be roasted up to a day ahead.)
  • Cut mozzarella into 1/4-inch slices. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices and halve cherry tomatoes.
  • Arrange mozzarella slices in the center of a large platter. Surround with tomatoes and sprinkle lightly with salt. Add roasted pepper strips, caperberries and olives. Drape prosciutto around the platter. Garnish with basil leaves. Drizzle generously with olive oil and serve.

Tips:

- Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor. - Roast your tomatoes in advance to concentrate their sweetness and flavor. - Use a high-quality mozzarella cheese that will melt well. - Thinly slice your onions so they cook evenly. - Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings, or it will be difficult to cook evenly. - Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Caprese pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple yet flavorful ingredients, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give caprese pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
