Grilled Pizza

Not really that novel, a grilled pizza is still something I have never tried. Until today. I wanted something I could put together pretty quickly after work and have dinner ready when Susie got home.

I turned on the far right burner on the gas grill and let that get hot. I started with a Boboli crust. Yep. Boboli. Doesn't get any easier than that. I sprayed olive oil on each side and placed it on the portion of the grill away from the burner. I let it cook, or rather, heat for a couple minutes on each side.

Time for toppings. I spread a layer of fresh homemade pesto over the entire surface of the crust. Then a not-too-heavy sprinkling of grated mozzarella cheese. In succession then came diced red onion, diced prosciutto, reconstituted home-dried tomatoes (red, yellow and orange), and halved kalamata olives. Another thin layer of mozzarella on top would keep everything in place.

Off the pizza peel and back onto the grill with my creation. Again, on the portion of the grill away from the burner. It took 18 minutes (I was counting!) before the pizza was ready to slice and serve.

Absolutely delicious!

Bon appétit!
