Codpiece & Chips Pizza

yeah i think i've had pizza with all of those fruits listed before and they were all good. most recently was the peach at the beginning of summer but it wasn't available long as we had a shitty peach season here. 

wife made homemade pineapple+jalapeno pizza last nite (both were fresh)

muy delicioso 

did i already post about the grapes + bleu cheese pizza

because if so it warrants a second and if not it is THE BEST

Realized that freezing homemade pasta sauce makes much better pizza sauce than pasata.

Pasata also tried to autocorrect to papaya so this must be a sign of new pizza fruit experimentation.

What do people put in their pizza sauces then? Isn't Pasata a little 'loose' or do you thicken it up with something?

Think it's time to make some homemade pizza. Kinda got put off last time from the pizza sauce we were buying from tesco.

^^ From Richard Bertinet's Dough book (also contains a recipe for "olive dough"): 250g cherry tomatoes cut in half, placed in an earthenware dish with Herbes de Provence, sea salt, ground pepper, 1 tsp caster sugar and olive oil; in the oven for two hours at 100C; gives you 100g of dried tomatoes that you can then blitz in the food processor.

Just cook it down longer.

Sometimes I'll just roast a tray of tomatoes too then use them and freeze in bags. We grew tonnes this summer.

Tomato sauce... pureed tomatoes, touch of salt and sometimes a dash of lemon juice, and then some oregano, thyme, rosemary.

I keep mine simple, mostly because that's all I know how to do. =/

See the above from Bulk

Found pasata benefits from a generous dollop of puree to add some heft & mass, plus a chef trick from a pro-relative is to roast a whole garlic bulb in olive oil (not too long as it gets bitter pronto), then puree ie pop a few of the segments out & stir them into the pasata & tom-puree, voila

thing about roast garlic is its v easy to pop those delicious sachets & eat em all b4 adding to anything else, maybe thats some freakish garlic fetish, but finger licking goodness

gonna try a base from scratch this weekend cos this thread is the very definition of food porn

its either that or trying, pitifully, to jazz up a Dr Oetker (sp?) with extra oregano, peppers, onions & garlic puree......futile in the face of so much domestic wank, Tesco being another offender in crimes against pizza

Good call about the garlic.

I buy bases in Lidl cheap. They're not amazing but when you're adding good shit on top they're handy.

san marzano DOP tinned tomatoes, cut off the stalky bits, crush them up with your hand, add some salt and freshly ground black pepper, maybe some oregano. you don't need to cook, just top the pizza with that.

also, remember to not get too much moisture in there, so pull the tomatoes out and squeeze out the water into the tin before you smush everything up in a separate bowl. you can reuse the tinned juice in a pasta or something.

I must say this:fruits are extremely underrated in main dishes.

I have an habit now to put fruits in my sautés all the time and i will not go back.

Pineapple,strawberry,grapes,etc.

My girlfriend made some cheese+pear toasts the other day and it was glorious!

Cheese and fruits goes especially well together so pizza+fruit make absolute sense!

And pineapple + hot pepper pizza is pizza heaven.

Apple pizza is tasty as well.

fruit + meat = pure fooken evil

bacon wrapped dates are amazing.

Haha sexual

good pizza is almost impossible to source here outside of London & Manchester....

what the fuck, no it isn't.  i hate it when people belittle the UK food scene like this and perpetuate the myth that outside of london everybody lives on cabbage and walkers crisps.

*slowly stops chewing mouthful of cabbage and crisps*

yeah!

I will be having pineapple on pizza tonight, just to spite most of the nay-sayers in this thread. >=)

lol yeah meng I'm rockin the mongoloid look.

I'll be making that DOUBLE PINEAPPLE for you tonight mr

“hey, you like a little pizza with your pineapple or what?”

PINEAPPLE ONLY

PINEAPPLE CRUST

PINEAPPLE SAUCE

PINEAPPLE CHEESE

Pineapple blunts before a pineapple pizza on a tropical island covered in pineapples. God is a pineapple. 

Just go eat a fucking pineapple already.
