Green Curry Pizza

I came to the realization recently (why it didn’t happen sooner, I don’t know) that I much prefer Thai curries to Indian curries. Don’t hate on me brownfolk, but you gotta love the nuance and versatility of Thai curries. To this end, I got some Thai curry pastes the other day, and let me tell you: a whole world of culinary possibilities opened up.

Including pizza. Again, looking for something quick and dirty after a long afternoon in the lab, I turned to pizza. But of course, since we don’t do no duplicates around this joint, I went in a different direction and spiced this pizza up - literally. Kind of weird, but still delicioso.

• Pizza dough
• Cheeseeeeeeeee
• 5 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 onion, minced
• 1/2 can coconut milk
• A few tablespoons of green curry paste
• A couple pinches of flour
• 10 basil leaves, chopped
• Olive oil
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

Saute the garlic and onions in olive oil in a small pot. Add in the curry paste and let the aroma fill the kitchen. Stir in the coconut milk. Drop in the basil and a few pinches of flour (to thicken up the curry).

Preheat the oven to 450F. Roll out/toss pizza dough and coat with flour. Place on pizza stone (grr need to get one) or just a cookie sheet with a bit of flour. Spread sauce over the surface and sprinkle on the cheese and bell peppers. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
