Ingredients

  • 2 bell peppers cut into quarters
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 lb. chorizo
  • Pizza dough
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh herbs chopped (I used basil and oregano)
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3/4 c. tomato sauce
  • 1 c. Italian cheeses shredded (I used Mozzarella and Fontinella)
  • 1 c. arugula

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place the bell pepper quarters, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cut the peppers into thin strips.
  • Meanwhile, place the chorizo in a medium skillet over medium heat. Saute for 5-7 minutes or until browned. Remove from heat.
  • Spray a pizza pan with cooking spray and stretch the pizza dough to fit the pan. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and garlic. Bake for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pizza crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce over top, leaving 1/2 inch around the edge for the crust.
  • Sprinkle the pizza with the cheeses. Top with the chorizo and roasted pepper strips.
  • Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Spread the fresh arugula over top of the cooked pizza. Cut into 8 pieces and serve immediately.
