Ingredients

For Garlic Oil

  • ¼ cup grapeseed or olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Salt & pepper
  • Optional red pepper flakes for added heat

For Pizza

  • 2 disks of pizza dough
  • 2 large peppers sliced into strips seeds removed (red, orange or green. Your preference or a mix)
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground veal
  • Salt & pepper
  • Pizza sauce
  • Mozzarella cheese as much or as little as you enjoy
  • 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
  • Fresh basil

Instructions

  • Combine ingredients for garlic oil in a small ramekin or bowl and let sit for flavors to combine. If you are in a rush, use the back of a small spoon and “mash” the garlic pieces a bit to expedite the flavoring.
  • Oil your grill grates and then preheat your grill to high.
  • Heat a pan, add a couple teaspoons of the garlic oil and saute your peppers for a few minutes. Add in garlic and season with salt and pepper. If you want a little kick add in red pepper flakes. Cook until peppers are just wilted (or to your preference). Remove peppers to a bowl and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add another couple teaspoons of the garlic oil and cook the ground veal until just done. Remove from heat, drain off any liquid cover and set aside..
  • Shape pizza dough into a typical pizza shape or rectangle flatbread shape. Brush with a little of the garlic oil and season with salt and pepper (and if you like, red pepper flakes).
  • Place dough directly on grill grates (one at a time or both) oiled side UP. After a couple minutes turn burners below dough to low or off (depends how hot your grill runs. Finish cooking pizza dough until done to your liking. Top of the dough will begin to bubble up.
  • Once dough is mostly done cooking, remove onto baking sheets or platter, flip the pizza crust so that the grilled side faces UP, that is the side you want to put your toppings on.
  • Lightly brush grilled side with garlic oil, spread pizza sauce onto crust, top with some cheese, veal, peppers and tomato halves. Add a bit more cheese if you like and return to the grill (closing the lid) just until the cheese is melted.
  • Top with basil, oregano or red pepper flakes, cut and enjoy!

Notes

Calories/Nutritional information will depend on how big your slices are and how much and what you choose to top your pizza with. The above is only an estimate based off of what I did, cutting each pizza into quarters, serving 4 people 2 slices each.
