Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses Quick Meals
The taste of Himalayan heights. Yak cheese is hard, salty, and extremely characterful, reminiscent of a mix of Parmesan and Pecorino. Since it's hard to find, it can be substituted with aged, hard cheese. Spinach and ginger seasoning complete this exotic, mountain dish.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Tip: Hot oven = good pizza.
2 ✓

Mix tomato sauce with crushed garlic, ginger, and pepper.

Tip: Ginger adds freshness and piquancy to tomato.
3 ✓

Spread seasoned sauce on dough.

Tip: Don't soak it, spread thinly.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with grated cheese.

Tip: Hard cheeses melt less, rather brown and flavor.
5 ✓

Place spinach leaves on top and drizzle with a little oil.

Tip: Oil protects leaves from burning, making them crispy instead.
6 ✓

Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese browns.

Tip: Watch the spinach, if browning too much, remove sooner.

Recipe FAQ

Where can I get yak cheese?
It's rare. Use Pecorino Romano or very aged Cheddar instead.
Won't spinach get soggy?
If you use fresh leaves and put them on top, they bake crispy (like chips), not soggy.
