food by day

I’ve noticed that people who like food (and blog about it), tend to have a weekness for all things pork.  Usually it succumbs to being about pork belly, or the other fine meat product that is chorizo (whether fresh or cured).

After having a quick wander round the freezer on the weekend I had pulled out some pizza dough that I had put aside.  So, on a fine Monday evening whilst feeling a bit hungry I was torn – do I go for the glory of pizza, or instead the joys of lamb chops.

My solution was to go for both, so I heated up about 300g of cherry tomatoes (quarts), chopped up sundried tomato, as well as some puree.  With a couple of anchovies added for good measure.  This was left to bubble down, to a nice rich base sauce.

This, then combined with half a fresh chili and some red peppers was laid out on my ‘ultra–thin’ pizza base along side some lovely mozeralla.

After a good blast in a hot oven, my ’snack’ was produced.  Safe to say that I didn’t get around to eating the chops that night, instead I combined some of the ingredients into another meal (to come!)
