North African pizza


Having a "pizza" google alert is much more depressing than you'd think it would be. Apparently there are lots of pizza delivery people being shot and robbed out there. That's why I was delighted to see this story pop into my mailbox today. At the big Pillsbury Bake Off there is an entrant who has a recipe for a North African-style chicken pizza." It sounds delicious! Listen to this quote:

"The recipe calls for chicken, spinach, slivered almonds, sweet orange marmalade, chopped dates, fennel, ground cardamom and grumbled goat cheese. North African-style chicken is similar to jerk chicken, but not as spicy. The use of citrus — the orange marmalade — adds a tang."

The chef got the idea from Mataam Fez, the fantastic Moroccan restaurant in Boulder, Colorado that I used to frequent when I lived there. I also think his pizza is a shoe-in when I read about the other competitor's pies.

"The competing recipes include a German-style sausage pizza, a chili-cheese dog pizza, an Italian chopped salad pizza, a 'Southwest Sloppy Joe pizza,' a Mediterranean pizza with a stuffed crust and a huevos rancheros pizza — with a big egg on top."

Gross!
