Wine and Pizza

Wine and pizza, food and wine pairing, red wine

You can't beat a homemade pizza with a glass of red wine.  We particularly enjoy the Mediterranean styles such as Graciano, Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional and Montepulciano.

We have teamed up with one of our favourite culinary gurus, Chef Jason Mahadea, who has very kindly shared an amazing pizza recipe for you to try at home.

Ingredients

To have at hand - readymade pre- cooked or fresh pizza dough

• Tomato base pizza sauce
• Grated pecorino cheese (pecorino Romano)
• Black olives
• Cherry tomatoes
• Mozzarella cheese (Fior Di latte or Bufala Campana)
• Fresh whole basil leaves
• Olive oil
• Ham (Parma ham)

 

On your readymade pizza dough spread the tomato base sauce. Sprinkle the grated pecorino and arrange the following ingredients harmoniously; sliced black olives, cherry tomato, slices of mozzarella cheese, basil leaves and complete with a dash of olive oil.

Place in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 mins. Once cooked add the Parma ham slices and serve.

Chef Tips

In advance, marinate the slices of cherry tomatoes with salt, pepper and oregano. This will give a kick of flavour and taste.

If you are using fresh pizza dough, pre-heat your oven at the maximum temperature available with the pizza stone. The pizza stone should reach a temperature around 300 degrees Celsius. Stretch the pizza dough and repeat the same process above.  Cook at the highest temperature for +/- 3min.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
