Grilled Pizza with Pesto, Tomatoes and Feta

Too high fat

Stacey F - July 16, 2007 01:11:38 PM PST

22 g of fat per serving??! Disgusting! That comes from likely the "prepared" pesto sauce. Skip the pesto, up the basil, brush on some olive oil and spinkle on some toasted pinenuts and presto, you've cut your fat then more by half!

Otherwise, good.

As a person who makes grilled pizza twice a month, the instructions missing a few things.

What should be the grill temp? Should I pre-heat?

Also it helps a lot and tastes much better if you brush a little olive oil on the dough before placing it on the grill.

i would home make the pesto
sea salt, oregano, basil, olive oil, garlic and pine nuts.

and serve with creamy buffalo mozerella and olives. maybe a smidge of feta if you want some more greek influence.

If you want a more semi-traditional pizza, use large chunks of fresh mozzarella instead of feta (muenster might be an interesting substitution as well), leave off the basil leaves, and add some oregano and rosemary to taste. It is excellent and a good way to use up leftover pesto (if you make your own) when you get tired of using it on pasta.

A little change of pace

Brush on a light layer of lite ranch dressing as your sauce just before you put on all your toppings. I'd also say stick with a cheese that will melt, that way you won't lose half your cheese as you're eating it. A few leaves of spinach couldn't hurt either :)

Yes it is complete

Where I come from I can interpret that heat the grill to medium high would usually mean pre-heat the grill

Since when is nearly 500 calories and 22 whopping grams of fat healthful? And it sounds unappetizing to begin with - feta cheese? Ugh - not my favorite. It's enough to make me call the local pizza parlor and order up a big ol' cheese pizza - hold the anchovies!
