INSTRUCTIONS
SALSA
PIZZA
For Salsa: Bring large pot of water to boil. Add tomatoes and blanch 20
seconds. Transfer to bowl of cold water, using slotted spoon. Drain. Remove
tomato skins using small sharp knife. Seed and chop tomatoes. Transfer to
large saucepan. Mix in onion, bell pepper, vinegar, cilantro, bay leaves,
jalapeno, salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally,
about 1 hour. Remove bay leaves. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead; refrigerate.
Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
If using sausage, heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add
sausage and cook until brown, crumbling with fork. Transfer to paper towel
to drain, using slotted spoon.
For Pizza: Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill with olive oil.
Place pizza crust on grill and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Turn
over. Sprinkle cornmeal on cooked side of crust. Spread 1 1/4 cups salsa
over (reserve remainder for another use). Top with cheese, cilantro,
jalapeno and sausage. Cover with grill lid or tent with foil and grill
until crust is cooked on bottom and cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
Serve pizza, passing guacamole and sour cream separately.
Serves 6 to 8.
