    Roasted Tomato Margarita Pizza Recipe
    Makes: One 10-inch pizza

    hp_roasted tomato.jpg

    Ingredients
    1 pint cherry tomatoes, washed and dried
    3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    2 cloves garlic
    ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    ¼ teaspoon black pepper, divided
    1 ball dough of your choice, at room temperature
    4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
    1 cup fresh basil, torn

    Directions

    Place pizza stone on lowest rack in the oven or, if using a steel, place on the highest rack. Preheat oven to 500°F at least 45 minutes to 1 hour before baking.

    Toss the tomatoes with the olive oil, garlic, salt and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Spread tomatoes out onto a foil-lined baking sheet and place on top oven rack. While the oven is preheating, bake the tomatoes, stirring once halfway through cooking, until tomatoes are blistered and juicy, 15–20 minutes. Note: Keep your eye on these tomatoes since they’ll be cooking in the oven as it’s preheating.

    Sprinkle a bit of fine cornmeal and all-purpose flour on a pizza peel or piece of parchment. Stretch out the dough, shape into a circle and transfer to prepared peel or parchment. Top stretched dough with roasted tomato mixture and cover with mozzarella slices. Sprinkle on top with the remaining ⅛ teaspoon black pepper.

    Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden, 8–10 minutes.

    Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Garnish with basil, cut into slices and enjoy immediately.

    Ingredients

    1 ball dough of your choice, at room temperature
    3 tablespoons Spicy Cilantro Oil (see below), divided
    1 small jalapeño, sliced
    ⅓ cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
    ¼ cup fresh sweet corn kernels
    ¼ cup seeded finely chopped fresh tomatoes
    2 green onions, thinly sliced, divided
    ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
    1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese (4 ounces)
    ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

    For the Spicy Cilantro Oil

    1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves and stems, roughly chopped
    2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
    2 tablespoons roughly chopped jalapeño (about 1 pepper)
    ½ teaspoon ground coriander
    ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

    Directions

    Spread 2 tablespoons of the Spicy Cilantro Oil over dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge, then top with jalapeño slices, black beans, corn, tomatoes, and half of the green onions. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper and scatter cheese on top.

    Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden, 8–10 minutes.

    Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of Spicy Cilantro Oil on top, and garnish with the cilantro and remaining green onions. Cut into slices and enjoy immediately.
