WHITE PIZZA WITH INDIAN SPICED GREENS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 2 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 large bunch greens, coarsely chopped (Swiss chard, spinach, or any combination - I used Swiss chard and removed the stems)
1 bunch fresh mustard greens, coarsely chopped
1 to 2 teaspoons hot curry powder (can use more, depends on how spicy you like it)
Homemade pizza dough or 1 (16-ounce) store-bought dough
Olive oil, for grill
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, shredded
3/4 cup shredded fontina cheese
1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup crumbled paneer

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Saute the garlic for 1 minute.
  • Add in the greens and saute until wilted. Add in the curry powder and continue to cook the greens until they start to get soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Cut the dough into 2 (8-ounce) pieces. Stretch the dough out on a lightly floured surface with your hands. When the grill is at a consistent 400 to 450 degrees F (no hotter than 450), lightly brush the grill with olive oil. Place dough directly onto the grill surface. Close the grill cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. About 2 minutes in, open the grill and pop the air bubbles with a fork. The bottom should be brown with some charred spots but not burned or underdone. Close lid and continue cooking. Remove from grill and place on a work surface with the cooked/grilled side up.
  • Lower the heat on the grill to medium-low heat so that the cheese has time to melt and the bottom does not burn.
  • Spread equal amounts of the mozzarella and fontina on each pizza. Divide the cooked greens on top of the cheese. Place a few dollops of crumbled goat cheese over the top of the greens, then sprinkle with the crumbled paneer.
  • Lightly oil grill once more and carefully place pizzas, cheese side up, onto the grill.
  • Close the lid and let it cook slowly for another 5 to 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and so that the bottom does not burn. When the cheese is completely melted and the bottom is a nice even brown with some charred spots, remove from the grill to a cutting board, slice and serve.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small clove garlic (minced (about 1/2 teaspoon))
Pinch salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 pound 16 ounces of your favorite pizza crust dough
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes + more to taste if desired
Pinch kosher salt (or other coarse salt)
Cracked black pepper
4 ounces goat cheese (chèvre)

If adding chicken to half
1/2 cup diced cooked chicken

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and salt and pepper. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if you wish.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Pull/press/roll pizza dough into an approximately 14-inch circle. Sprinkle a little flour on your baking surface (stone or baking sheet) and carefully transfer the dough.
  • Spoon the ricotta onto the dough and gently spread with a spoon, leaving 1/2-inch border around the edge of the pizza. Sprinkle the ricotta with the crushed red pepper flakes, a generous pinch of coarse salt, and the freshly ground pepper. Crumble the goat cheese and evenly sprinkle it over the top.
  • If adding chicken, spread it onto half or all.
  • Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, add the mixed greens and radishes to a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with the greens and radishes.
  • Slice and serve. Pass grated Parmesan for topping, if desired.

Categories     Herb     Appetizer     Bake     Goat Cheese     Spinach     Fall     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
4 cups (packed) ready-to-use spinach leaves (about 6 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 6-inch purchased fully baked pizza crusts
1 3- to 3 1/2-ounce package soft fresh goat cheese with garlic and herbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add spinach; toss until beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add rosemary and crushed pepper and toss 1 minute. Remove from heat; mix in lemon juice and peel.
  • Arrange crusts on work surface. Spread 1/4 of goat cheese on each. Top each with half of spinach mixture, then drop remaining goat cheese over spinach by teaspoonfuls.
  • Place pizzas directly onto oven rack. Bake until crusts are crisp and cheese on top begins to brown, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of tomatoes: For the best flavor, use a combination of ripe, juicy tomatoes, such as Roma tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Make the Indian-spiced tomato sauce ahead of time: This sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: Goat cheese is a great choice for this pizza because it has a tangy, creamy flavor that pairs well with the spicy tomato sauce. You could also use mozzarella cheese or a blend of mozzarella and goat cheese.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once you've assembled the pizza, you can add your favorite toppings. Some good options include sliced red onions, chopped fresh cilantro, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

These goat cheese pizzas with Indian-spiced tomatoes and mustard greens are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering with friends. With their flavorful tomato sauce, creamy goat cheese, and crispy crust, these pizzas are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
