Spanish Chorizo and Olive Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Although pizza is Italian, this version evokes the atmosphere of Spanish tapas bars. Chorizo is a cured sausage seasoned with paprika, which releases its red, paprika-infused oil (pimentón) during baking, coloring and flavoring the entire pizza. Peppers and olives complete this Mediterranean trio.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the dough and spread with the sauce.

Tip: Leave the crust slightly thicker at the edges so you have something to dip in oil later.
2 ✓

Sprinkle with mozzarella, then arrange the thin slices of chorizo and peppers on top.

Tip: Slice the chorizo thinly so it crisps up and renders its fat.
3 ✓

Scatter the olives and drizzle with a little oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: The paprika-infused fat will beautifully color the cheese orange.
4 ✓

Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Tip: The sweetness of basil pairs well with the spicy sausage.

Can I use pepperoni?
