In celebration of National Pi Day (3.14) I’ve teamed up with Uncommon Goods to create my favorite pie. A pizza pie! And not just any pizza pie, but a Margherita Naan Pizza on the grill.
You see Uncommon Goods has this amazing garden in a bag which just happens to grow everything you need for homemade pizza sauce (basil, tomatoes, oregano). And because I’m not really someone who is known for their patience I decided to perfect my recipe before my garden began to grow. Best decision ever. Let’s just say I’ll be counting down the days till I can begin picking these ingredients fresh from my garden and grilling this pizza all summer long. Happy 3.14! truly, MKR
- 1 can (28-ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, in juice
- 1 small white onion, finely diced and minced
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- fresh basil leaves (4 for the sauce, and 4 for each pizza)
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano chopped
- Pinch salt
- Pinch fresh ground black pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- Pinch sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Naan bread (I prefer garlic flavor)
- 4-6 slices of fresh mozzarella (per pizza)
- For the sauce...
- In a mixing bowl and coarsely crush the tomatoes with a fork leaving them a little chunky.
- In a heavy bottom 2-quart sauce pot add the olive oil and begin to heat.
- Add the onions and garlic, saute until slightly translucent.
- Next add the crushed tomatoes, stir and bring to a simmer.
- Season with salt, pepper, sugar, cayenne, fresh basil and fresh oregano.
- Simmer on a low, stirring often for at least 15 minutes.
- *You can store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, up to 1 week.
- For the pizza...
- Bring your grill up to 425 degrees.
- While the grill is heating up begin the construction of your pizzas by spreading the pizza sauce completely over the naan bread.
- Layer basil leaves evenly over the naan bread.
- Thinly slice 4-6 slices of fresh mozzarella and layer evenly on top of the basil leaves and sauce.
- Place pizza on a pizza stone in the center of the grill and cook for 15-25 minutes or until mozzarella begins to bubble and the crust is turns a deep golden brown.
