The Irreverent Manifold

Tried out a new pizza tonight. Marinated fresh shrimp and scallops in the following: chopped garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh thyme, and minced jalapeno peppers. Crust from scratch with the usual ingredients. Brushed garlic-chili oil on the crust prior to the bake. Additional toppings included: artichoke hearts, cilantro, fresh cheese (mozzarella, havarti, parmesan), roma tomatoes, and red onion. The taste was great. I messed up the structure a bit because I accidentally made the pizza on the kitchen counter instead on the stone – so the transfer was not clean and I lost my good circle. Here it is…

Homemade crust using the typical ingredients. Homemade garlic/chili oil brushed on the crust pre-bake. Homemade pesto to act as the “sauce” for this pizza. Fresh cheeses: mozzarella, fontina, and parmesan. Spinach, Roma tomatoes, portabello mushrooms, fresh basil, fresh thyme, fresh oregano, and blue cheese were the toppings. All parties agreed that this pizza was awesome.
