Pizza Party

Have you ever used BBQ sauce instead of marinara on pizza? If you haven't, hopefully I can convince you to with this recipe! 

Grilled BBQ Pork and Caramelized Onion Pizza

Ingredients:

Premade pizza dough 

1 vadallia onion

1 cup Italian blend cheese

1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

1 cup pre-cooked pulled pork (use chickpeas for a vegetarian option)

Additional veggies to top, we used red peppers!

2 tablespoons olive oil

Non-stick cooking spray

Directions:

Allow your dough to hang out in a bowl with a tablespoon of oil in a warm spot. This allows the dough to stretch out nicely. While that is resting, slice your onion thinly and cook for 20-30 minutes on low heat with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Spread out your pizza on aluminum foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and stretch until thin. Spread your favorite BBQ sauce on the dough and top with pork, onions, cheese and veggies. Grill for 20 minutes or until the crust is crispy.

For all of you vegetarians out there I suggest using black beans or chickpeas instead of the pork. You could also crumble a few TJ meat less meatballs on top!

Or you could make this delicious zucchini pizza.

Zucchini Pizza

Ingredients:

Store bought pizza dough (I used TJ's garlic and herb)

1 cup part skim ricotta cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1 large or 2 medium zucchinis grated

sprinkle of red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon olive oil

sun dried tomatoes or turkey bacon for added goodness

Directions:

Allow your dough to hang out in a bowl with a tablespoon of oil in a warm spot. This allows the dough to stretch out nicely. While that is resting, grate your zucchini. Spread out your pizza on aluminum foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and stretch until thin.Spread ricotta cheese on your dough thinly. Combine zucchini and mozzarella in a bowl and top pizza with the mixture. Add your sun dried tomatoes or turkey bacon and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
