Our 'Cooked in Translation' host this month is Pola from An Italian Cooking in the Midwest and she chose Pizza as the theme!!Who doesn't love a Pizza!Its one versatile dish that can take so many different forms and every way its made, its tastes delicious!
My pizza dish is inspired by two things, my love for Indian chutneys and Seafood!I'm making my own fennel onion chutney and adding sautéed shrimp to go underneath some fresh mozzarella!I've made this pizza using Middle Eastern Flat Bread, since I find it extremely easy to use and the perfect size for one person.Its also a time saver since its already cooked and 5 minutes is all it needs under the grill :)
My fennel onion chutney is the star of this pizza!Its perfectly caramelised, sweet, salty, acidic all in one.I've used cooked Shrimp here and mix it with some spices that contrasts beautifully with the sweet chutney.I've sprinkled a little amount of mozzarella since, I did not want the flavors in the onions and the shrimp to be overpowered with the cheese.The result is a healthy, elegant pizza that is so different and so delicious!

ReplyDeleteWhat a unique pizza! I can see why your chutney was the star! I could eat it all by itself. :) Interesting addition of the shrimp. Great pizza!
ReplyDeleteYour fennel onion chutney sounds fabulous, Soni! Love your pizza version!
ReplyDeleteCan you suggest what a vegetarian can use instead of shrimp?
ReplyDeleteYou can just omit the shrimp for a veggie version! Chutney and cheese go really well together :)
DeleteYou use all my favorite veggies - leek and now fennel! :D I love unique pizza like this to give some twist. In Japan we have Japanized pizza too. The other day at Indian friend's daughter's birthday party, we had Indian pizzas delivered to the house. All kinds were so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this Cooked advice.
