Chorizo pizza

Chorizo pizza

For this Chorizo pizza I used only ½ a chorizo sausage. I prefer pizzas that don't have too thick a topping – so you might want to use more.

I made some pizza sauce by simmering all the ingredients listed for about 40 minutes:


Can chopped Italian tomatoes

Couple of fresh tomatoes, chopped

Tomato paste and ketchup

Chilli sauce and a little hot chilli jam

Worcestershire sauce

Small splash of leftover pinot noir (light red wine)

Garlic to taste (grated in with a microplane)

Salt and pepper

Toppings for chorizo pizza

Using flat bread as a pizza base – straight from the freezer, I spread the cooled pizza sauce on to it, followed by pre-grated Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese (I know it would be better if I grated it myself). Then the toppings – slices of chorizo, slices of red chilli, chopped capsicum (bell pepper) and chopped zucchini.
