Portuguese Chorizo Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425ºF.
• Cook chorizo in large skillet on medium heat 5 to 7 min. or until done, stirring occasionally; drain. Add red peppers and onions; cook 3 min., stirring occasionally. Stir in mushrooms and jalapeño peppers; cook 4 to 5 min. or until mushrooms are tender.
• Place pizza crust on baking sheet; brush edge with oil. Spread crust with sauce; top with 3/4 cup cheese, chorizo mixture, tomatoes and remaining cheese.
• Bake 12 to 14 min. or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Pull apart and gently stretch pizza dough into 6 inch rounds. (Making 2 pizzas.)
• 2. Put each 6 inch round of pizza dough on a separate greased baking sheet or pizza stone. Pat each out to a 10 to 12 inch round, about 1/8 inch thick.
• 3. Spread 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce on top of each round, leaving about a 1 inch border. Arrange the chorizo on top of the sauce and top with a thin layer of the cheese.
• 4. Bake the pizzas until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly - approx. 20 minutes., switching the pans from top to bottom after about 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Prepare the dough following the instructions in our basic pizza dough recipe in 'goes well with', right.
• Thickly slice the chorizo and pan-fry until crisp. Remove and set aside. Cook one side of the pizzas.
• Crush 2-3 of the tomatoes with your hands and drain in a sieve, then spread on the cooked side of the pizzas. Top with both cheeses, the pepper and chorizo. Season and add chilli flakes if you like it hot. Grill, covered, until the cheese is melted. Finish with the spinach leaves and shavings of manchego.
