An Evening of Pizzas - Cheese, Lasagna, Indian Chicken & Saag, Spicy Thai Peanut & Chicken

June 3rd, 2009

One recent Friday we decided to make a bunch of pizzas. The beauty of pizzas is that they’re really quite easy to make and allow for a wide variety of flavors and tastes in a single meal. Also, while there are a bunch of steps here, most of them can be done in little pieces ahead of time. Dough should be made well ahead of time and the sauce and toppings can all be made hours ahead kept in the fridge. This means a quick finish of just putting the pizzas together once you get hungry.

On this occasion, we were going to just make three pizzas. We tried a Lasagna pizza, with ground beef and ricotta, an Indian-inspired pizza with Saag as the base and chicken and a Thai pizza with a peanut-Siracha sauce and chicken. We had some leftover dough and sauce so added a traditional cheese pizza to the mix as well.

As I often do on Fridays, I had a strong desire to make a burger when I got home from work. While I have made tuna and regular burgers in the past to meet this desire, I wanted to do something a bit different. After spending more time than my boss would probably like thinking about it at work, I settled on a buffalo chicken burger. It ended up being really satisfying given the nice heat and creamy blue cheese spread.

Pomegranate Molasses Grilled Chicken w/ Roasted Vegetables

April 19th, 2009

We got the basic idea for this recipe by combining some ideas in Mario Batali’s Babbo cookbook . We took some of the marinade concepts from the brick-grilled-chicken and adapted parts of the pomegranate vinaigrette from the guinea hen. In the end we were left with really juicy chicken that had the acidic flavors of the marinade tempered with the sweet pomegranate molasses. We served the chicken with the vegetables listed below as well as our homemade basil pasta.
