Siberian Hunter's Pizza with Venison & Mushrooms

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Flavors of the taiga on a pizza. The deep, gamey aroma of venison (or wild boar) and earthy forest mushrooms form a perfect pair. This isn't a light summer pizza, but a hearty, warming dish for colder days. A sour cream base works better here than tomato, allowing the game flavor to shine.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Tip: High heat is needed for the dough.
2 ✓

Clean mushrooms and slice thinly. Slice onion into rings.

Tip: Don't wash mushrooms in water, they soak it up.
3 ✓

Spread the dough with seasoned sour cream (salt, pepper).

Tip: Sour cream richness harmonizes with the dryness of game meat.
4 ✓

Scatter mushrooms and onion, then lay thinly sliced game meat on top.

Tip: If mushrooms are raw, slice very thin to cook through. If thick, sauté first.
5 ✓

Sprinkle with cheese and fresh thyme.

Tip: Thyme is one of the best herbs for mushrooms and game.
6 ✓

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: When cheese is browned and crust edge is crispy, it's done.

Recipe FAQ

I don't have game meat, what should I use?
Good quality smoked sausage or beef works too, though the flavor differs.
What mushrooms should I buy?
Brown cremini are accessible and tastier than white buttons, but porcini is the real deal.
