3 New PIzzas!! - cjs - 10-10-2010

Had fun trying the 3 pizza ideas from Wine O’Clock wine bar in Yakima this morning. With champagne, of course.

The first one, Pear, bacon, gr. Onion, aged white cheddar was very tasty – we had tasted this one at the wine bar. Gave it an 8+

2nd pizza – sweet corn, bacon, gr. Onion, smoked provolone and at last minute decided the corn might make the pizza a little ‘sweeter’ than we would like, I added red pepper flakes – great addition! We gave this one an 8+ also.

3rd pizza – Pesto, eggplant, mushroom (crimini), toasted pine nuts, mozz. And added red pepper flakes to this one also.
If you add eggplant to a pizza, it’s a good idea to salt it and allow to rest for 30 minutes to get rid of the moisture. I rinsed it well and broiled it. (my only complaint - I didn't slice enought eggplant, I would have like more)

I amazed myself by liking the eggplant/mushroom pizza the best!! I’m not a big fan of either, but the combinaton of the goodies on this one just put it over the top for me. Gave it a 9+ Roy gave a 10+

Jean - they are just beautiful!!!! Oh, they look so good. The corn one in particular.

Jean, the pictures look great! William isn't an eggplant fan, but I figure I can trick him into trying it if I make him a regular. This'll be my next pizza experiment. Thanks for the ideas! I want to try all of them eventually, of course...LOL! You've turned some of us into pizza freaks! That's a good thing.


Re: 3 New PIzzas!! - cjs - 10-10-2010

Please let me know if you do try them - for Volume #2

Interesting.

Some friends who have been to Japan a number of times told me that three popular things on pizza in Japan are (separately) squid ink, corn kernels, and potatoes with mayonnaise.

They all sound great, but #3 is calling me. I'll send you a review after I make it.

On #1, did you use fresh pear and how did you slice it, thin slices or chunks? Couldn't tell from the photo. That one is calling me too.


Re: 3 New PIzzas!! - Gourmet_Mom - 10-10-2010

Maryann, that will be my second, also.

Jean, I will definitely take pics and review them for you as I make them.


Re: 3 New PIzzas!! - Old Bay - 10-10-2010

They all sound good, BUT, the eggplant gets a 10 without even trying it (which I will!!)!! Jean you need an outdoor oven--you and Roy would love it--I'll bet that retired engineer is a closet mason--all engineers are different--our son Eric is one. Does Roy read "Dilbert". Todays was pure corporate exposure of frustration, incompetence, and the "Peter Principle".!!

Jean those look amazing! That pear one could almost be a dessert. Hey there's an idea...a series of dessert pizza's

Labs - Eewww


Re: 3 New PIzzas!! - cjs - 10-10-2010

The pears - I cut in half lengthwise, then thinly sliced them, unpeeled.

potatoes AND mayo???? hmmmmm

Funny you mention that, Denise - I want to take more and better time with some dessert pizzas this time. Make some very understated types.

Also, I tried doing the cheeses different on these. I used my meat slicer and cut all of it very thin slices. Don't know that I'll do it again, the cheese almost dissolved into the pizza...but, then that may not be a bad thing either...more play is needed. I used the slicer on the criminis also, I did like that.
