Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium bell peppers, cut lengthwise into eighths
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 log (6 ounces) fresh goat cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Grill pizza, top-side down, until bubbles form, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip; dollop with a quarter of cheese mixture, peppers, and onion. Grill, moving occasionally with tongs, until cheese melts and bottom is crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Toss arugula with lemon juice and remaining 1 teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Top pizzas with arugula and sprinkle with red-pepper flakes; serve.

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill.
  • Grill the sausage on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes per side. Brush onions and peppers with the oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place the skewered vegetables, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl, and turn the vegetables until they are coated.
  • Place vegetables on grill, and cook until lightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board. Cut peppers into 1/2-inch-thick slices, and remove skewers from onions. Transfer vegetables to a serving platter.

FETA AND RED BELL PEPPER PIZZA



Feta and Red Bell Pepper Pizza image

Categories     Feta     Bell Pepper     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb fresh or thawed frozen pizza dough
All-purpose flour for dusting
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 red bell peppers, cut into short, thin strips
5 oz feta, coarsely crumbled
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Prepare grill:
  • Open vents in lid and bottom of a kettle grill and put 25 briquets on each of 2 opposite sides of bottom, leaving middle clear. Oil rack and position it with flaps over briquets (for adding more briquets), 5 to 6 inches above them. Light briquets. (They're ready when grayish white, 20 to 30 minutes.)
  • Shape pizza dough while grill heats:
  • Halve dough and form each half into a disk. Dust dough and your hands with flour. Holding 1 edge of 1 piece of dough in the air with both hands and letting bottom touch work surface, move hands around edge (like turning a steering wheel), allowing weight of dough to stretch round to roughly 6 inches. Flour your fists and with them stretch dough from center of underside, turning dough to maintain a rough circle, until about 10 inches in diameter.
  • Put round on a lightly floured foil-lined baking sheet, then lightly flour top of dough and cover with another sheet of foil. Repeat shaping with remaining piece of dough and stack on top of first round, lightly flouring and covering with foil.
  • Make pizzas:
  • Stir garlic into oil.
  • Discard foil from top crust and lightly brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil.
  • Holding foil underneath, flip crust, oiled side down, onto rack of grill. Repeat with remaining crust. Cover grill and cook until undersides of crusts are golden brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Turn crusts over with 2 metal spatulas, then brush each with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and sprinkle with bell peppers, feta, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover grill and cook 5 to 7 minutes more, or until undersides are golden brown and cheese is slightly melted.

GRILLED PIZZA WITH GRILLED RED ONIONS AND FETA



Grilled Pizza With Grilled Red Onions and Feta image

I use a perforated grill pan to cook sliced onions and other vegetables on the grill. They'll have a nice charred flavor and be just soft enough if you cook them before you put them on the pizza.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     pizza and calzones, main course

Time 30m

Yield 3 10-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 to 3 medium red onions, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced across the grain
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 10-inch pizza crusts (1 recipe)
3/4 cup marinara sauce made with fresh or canned tomatoes
1 tablespoon (or more, to taste) fresh thyme leaves
3 ounces crumbled feta

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot grill. Place the onions in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Place a perforated grill pan on the grill and let it get hot, then add the onions and cook, tossing in the pan or stirring with tongs, for about 3 to 5 minutes, just until they soften slightly and begin to char. Remove from the grill and return the onions to the bowl.
  • Oil the hot grill rack with olive oil, either by brushing with a grill brush or by dipping a folded wad of paper towels in olive oil and using tongs to rub the rack with it. Place a round of dough on a lightly dusted baker's peel or rimless baking sheet. Slide the pizza dough from the peel or baking sheet onto the grill rack. If the dough has just come from the freezer and is easy to handle, you can just place it on the rack without bothering with the peel. Close the lid of the grill - the vents should be closed --- and set the timer for 2 minutes.
  • Lift up the grill lid. The surface of the dough should display some big air bubbles. Using tongs, lift the dough to see if it is evenly browning on the bottom. Rotate the dough to assure even browning. Keep it on the grill, moving it around as necessary, until it is nicely browned, with grill marks. Watch closely so that it doesn't burn. When it is nicely browned on the bottom (it may be blackened in spots), use tongs or a spatula to slide the dough onto the baking sheet or peel, and remove from the grill. Cover the grill again.
  • Make sure that there is still some flour on the peel or baking sheet and flip the dough over so that the uncooked side is now on the bottom. Brush the top lightly with oil, then top with a thin layer of tomato sauce (no more than 1/4¼ cup) and a layer of grilled sliced onions. Sprinkle with thyme and feta, and drizzle on a little more olive oil. Slide the pizza back onto the grill. If using a gas grill, reduce the heat to medium-high. Close the lid and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the bottom is brown. Open the grill and check the pizza. The top should be hot and the bottom nicely browned. If the bottom is getting too dark but the pizza still needs a little more time, move it to a cooler part of the grill and close the top. Use a spatula or tongs to remove the pizza to a cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve. Repeat with the other two crusts.

This post will provide readers with detailed tips and a comprehensive conclusion on making delicious grilled pepper and red onion pizzas.

Tips

  • Selecting Fresh Ingredients: Choose ripe and colorful bell peppers and red onions. Look for firm and unblemished vegetables to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Grilling Vegetables: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to get those perfect grill marks. Brush the pepper and onion slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until tender and slightly charred.
  • Choosing the Right Pizza Dough: Opt for a pre-made pizza dough or make your own using your favorite recipe. Let the dough rise according to the recipe's instructions to achieve a light and airy crust.
  • Creating a flavorful Sauce: Opt for a homemade tomato sauce or use a store-bought sauce and enhance its flavor by adding herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme. For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Balancing Toppings: Don't overload the pizza with toppings, as this can make it soggy. Distribute the grilled peppers, onions, and other toppings evenly, leaving some space for the melted cheese to spread.
  • Choosing the Right Cheese: Use a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese for a classic pizza flavor. Freshly grated cheese melts better and provides a more intense flavor compared to pre-shredded options.

Conclusion

With these tips in mind, you'll be able to create mouthwatering grilled pepper and red onion pizzas that are perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and smoky grilled vegetables, flavorful sauce, and gooey melted cheese makes this pizza a sure crowd-pleaser. Experiment with different toppings and sauces to find your favorite combination. Grilled pepper and red onion pizzas are not only delicious but also versatile, making them an excellent option for a quick and satisfying meal.
