First off I usually am not a fan of Hallmark holidays, but I've been known to make exceptions. Today is one of those days. My Dad is the rock of my family, plain and simple. My families life was turned completely on it's head over 5 years ago, we're still getting back on our feet. I could probably write for days about how amazing my Dad is. Anyway, we don't buy gifts anymore, just remember to sit down and cook a nice meal for each other. Today that meal was a grilled margherita pizza and steamed artichokes.
Margherita Pizza
1.) To make the sauce in a food processor combine a can of diced tomatoes, one tomato seeded, 1 tsp sea salt, 1 TBS olive oil, and 3 cloves of garlic.
2.) Roll out your favorite pizza dough. (I used dough from Trader Joe's) Place the dough on a pizza stone that has been dusted with corn meal.
3.) Place the stone on the grill that has been heated to about 450 degrees.
4,) Let the dough cook for about 10 minutes or so.
5.) Once the dough has cooked up a bit, move it to the middle of the grill off the heat.
6.) Load up the ingredients-spread the sauce, spread mozzarella cheese, top with diced tomatoes and sliced basil, sprinkle with a little more cheese and drizzle with olive oil.
7.) Let it bake for about 10 minutes. The time is really dependent on your grill so just watch it until the dough is cooked through and the cheese has melted.
*P.S. Love you Papa Bear.*
