Radish Goat Cheese Pizza With Spicy Mixed Greens And Optional Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Whisk olive oil and finely chopped garlic in large bowl to blend. Add radicchio strips, grated Fontina, sliced fennel and roasted red peppers and toss to coat; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place crust on rimless baking sheet. Mound radicchio mixture on crust, leaving 3/4-inch plain border. Top with crumbled goat cheese. Bake pizza until crust is crisp and topping is heated through, about 13 minutes. Top pizza with Parmesan shavings, if desired. Cut pizza into slices and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add spinach; toss until beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add rosemary and crushed pepper and toss 1 minute. Remove from heat; mix in lemon juice and peel.
• Arrange crusts on work surface. Spread 1/4 of goat cheese on each. Top each with half of spinach mixture, then drop remaining goat cheese over spinach by teaspoonfuls.
• Place pizzas directly onto oven rack. Bake until crusts are crisp and cheese on top begins to brown, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• For topping:
• Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and next 5 ingredients; sauté 3 minutes. Add tomatoes; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Add greens; stir until wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
• For flatbreads:
• Mix first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and cilantro. Knead in bowl until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover with kitchen towel; let rest 30 minutes. Divide dough into 4 pieces; roll each into ball. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rest on work surface 30 minutes. Roll out each dough ball on lightly floured surface to 9-inch round.
• Heat large dry nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 flatbread round to skillet; cook until bottom of bread is golden brown in spots and bread puffs slightly, about 4 minutes. Turn bread over; cook until bottom is brown in spots, about 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place breads on baking sheet. Spread 1/4 of topping over each. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake until heated through, about 8 minutes.
• Available at specialty foods stores, Italian markets, and some supermarkets.

Steps:

• In a bowl stir together goat cheese, cream, and salt and pepper to taste until combined and transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch tip. (Alternatively, transfer mixture to a small heavy-duty sealable plastic bag and press out excess air. Snip off 1 corner, making a small hole.) Cheese mixture may be made 2 days ahead and chilled in bag. Bring cheese mixture to room temperature before proceeding.
