  • August Contest Entry #3

    Well... after the whooping I took from Becky , this entry isn't really worthy of posting but the pizza was damn good!

    Green Chili Pesto Pizza with fresh maters:

    I was on a fresh pesto kick when the contest came out, was also kicking ass on roasting green chilies, so my simple mind said WTH!

    here goes:

    Green Chili Pesto:
    2 cups fresh roasted green chili (substituted this for basil leaves)
    1/2 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
    1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
    1/3 cup peanuts (instead of pine nuts) (can substitute cashews or almonds)
    3 medium sized garlic cloves, minced
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

    Started with a sourdough flapper brushed with olive oil then chili pesto







    Gave that a thick layer of Pizza Cheese and a laser thin slice of home grown mater.



    That went in the grill, on the pizza stone, with a hickory smoke bomb.



    I should have sent this to Becky as an appitizer for her entry
    Plated with one each of the chilies me and Bassman are growing and enjoying this summer.



    bottom line - had a blast doing this and really enjoyed seeing everyone's awesome dishes. The creativity and skill some of you have blows my simple little mind!!

    Whatta we doing for September, Ken?!

                      Yaknow- this is the second entry...Mark's being the first... that I had NO IDEA how much work/prep/time went into them. It mighta influenced my decision. I realize it would be difficult to have the entire process of an entry submitted without being unwieldy or giving away the contestant. But dang... I am more impressed now that I understand what the entry encompassed.

                      Great work Walle!

                        Thanks, E! You are correct on the fresh/raw maters... if they have any cookage at all on them, I can eat a pile, hence the paper thin sliceage on those!

                        Re the pizza... watch out cuz I have another coming soon!

                        Thank you very much, Rich. I think that statement applies to all entries, and given the incredible imagination and execution of our #1 and #2 winners... I think the process works just fine.
