Guanciale Pizza

Pick up pre-made pizza dough or crust, and have dinner on the table with just a handful of ingredients for this crowd-pleasing guanciale pizza.

Serves: 4 depending on crust size.

Ingredients:

• Favorite pizza crust-- 12-16"

• 1/4 cup of your favorite tomato sauce

• 8 oz. Red Table Meat Co. guanciale

• 1/2 cup goat cheese

• 20 sage leaves

• 1 medium onion, sliced

Directions:

1. Fry guanciale over high heat, in a pan large enough to handle all the meat in a single layer. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning one side. When crispy and golden pour into a colander to drain the fat. Reserve the fat. 

2. Use the reserved guanciale fat to saute the onions approximately 5-6 minutes, until just softened (onions will cook more on the pizza).

3. Stretch or roll out the pizza dough. Place dough onto peal or baking sheet lined with semolina or cornmeal.

4. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on dough. Sprinkle the onions, guanciale, goat cheese, and sage leaves on top.

5. Cook in oven 6-10 minutes at 400 degrees. You want a crisp bottomed crust and bubbling toppings.

Serving Suggestions: Get the whole family involved in the action by letting the kids arrange the toppings on the pizza or stretch the dough. Throw on any fresh vegetables from the garden or CSA.
