We had grilled pizzas last night and lately Julie has realized she likes Pizza that has no red sauce. We came up with this one on the grill which was very good. (Doesn't have to be on a grill but we learned this from Amy and Greg and love it). The key concept here is that garlic olive oil is sub'd for red pizza sauce.
1 Ball of Pizza Dough (We like the white dough at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's)
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Mozzarella Cheese or 4 Cheese Blend
Chopped Fresh basil
Dried Oregano
Flour (to deal with the dough)
Toppings of you liking.
1.) Warm up the grill - Medium to low heat
2.) 1 Dough ball makes about two thin crust large pizzas. Our rule of thumb is 1 ball per 2 people. Me and Julie break it in half and make two pies - each choosing our own toppings.
3.) Pour the olive oil into a small cup and crush the Garlic clove into the oil Stir the garlic into the oil.
3) After Grill is heated place the two pie crusts on the Grill with nothing on them. Put them directly on the grate for about 2 minutes on each side. After flipping the dough once, brush the garlic olive oil onto the crust while it is still on the grill (this begins to cook the garlic just a bit).
4.) Remove the pizza crusts from the grill - bring them in - re-brush with a bit more garlic oil if they have dried up. Top with Cheese, Basil, Oregano and any other toppings you choose.
5.) Put the pizzas back on the grill for 8-10 minutes. Watch them and reduce the heat if the crust begins to burn.
6.) I also like to cut avocado slices and top with avocado after removing them from grill. It makes them taste really clean.

YUM!!!! Pizza on the Grill......who would have thunk it !
I just made Cabbage Soup last night from a recipe on the Denver Post. It's really tasty but definetely does not merit posting it on the Food BLOG. Beside, "Cabbage Soup" sounds kind of Pendejote, no ?
If you find good recipes on the web that you want to share - just cut and paste the link in the blog posting. that way you don't have to re-write everything.
Julie - I'm with you on the red sauce thing. Nick and Willys makes a margharita (I know the spelling looks funny but its right) pizza that is very similar.Soooo tasty. Never thought of trying it on the grill. Thanks for the info.
