Pizza

Oh, hell yes. Please elaborate.




I used to have an apricot tree and I dried some apricots. Sliced those thinly and used smoked chorizo and some feta I believe. I used smoked chorizo. If you use regular chorizo it would probably be good to precook it. Otherwise the pizza will might be greasy.




That sounds awesome. I think I'm going to try with a twist:





CHORIZO APRICOT PIZZA





Sauce: Olive oil mixed with brandy


Smoked chorizo


Dried apricots


Green onion


Cilantro


Feta

Brandy part seems interesting

Yeah, it's a take on a technique I use in making Beef Bourginon. In that recipe, you add cognac to a pan of stew beef and bacon while browning, then light it on fire. The alcohol burns off while the cognac flavor sears into the meat. I figure I can throw the chorizo in a pan with olive oil, start browning a bit, do the same thing with the brandy, then use the resulting oil as a sauce.

Cool. I recommend getting chorizo from a legit mexican carniceria if possible. The chorizo at big supermarket chains can be :suspect:
 
My favorite pizza in Memphis is a spot called Fox Ridge...been eating it for over 30 years, it was the only pizza my folks and I would go get when we wanted pizza. Its a pretty unique pie, never have had another like it. The crust is biscuit-like and they dont skimp on toppings...I always like green olives on my pie and they put them on unsliced...they just throw the fuckers on there whole, looks like a buncha green marbles on it.

Yeah, outside of Oaxaca. It's more street food than pizza is. Meaning you can cook it on the street, but it also means the toppings can be somewhat patchy in their application. It's more like Mexican ingredients on top of a big poppadom.
 
out here, the street version is usually folded over like a pregnant quesadilla. restaurant versions tend to keep their pizza shape.
