Ingredients
-
1 pizza dough (I use Jamie Oliver's recipe)
Pesto
2 cups loose packed daikon greens (add other types of greens if you don't have that much)
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup peanuts (or other nuts of you prefer)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
Toppings
2 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium daikon radish, thinly sliced
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped or 1/3 cup frozen spinach
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese or 1/2 cup Italian cheese blend
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350 F, and put pizza stone in to warm.
Put daikon greens, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, peanuts, parmesan, and salt and pepper in food processor. Blend until smooth, and set aside.
Chop bacon and fry in medium pan until crispy. Remove the bacon, and reserve the grease in the pan. Set bacon aside.
Add sliced daikon and onion to the pan. Stir to coat with bacon grease. Add 1 teaspoons sugar and 1 teaspoons salt. Turn down the burner temperature to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally for at least 20 minutes, or until daikon is browned.
Roll out dough on hot stone. Brush with a little olive oil, and poke with a fork. Put it back in the oven for 5-8 minutes.
Remove the stone from the oven, and turn up the oven to 400\u00b0F Brush the pizza crust with the daikon pesto. Add carmelized daikon and onions, bacon, spinach, and cheese to pizza.
Bake for 15 minutes. After you remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
