super greens pizza with browned lemon herb butter_______________________Kale and charred broccolini star in this cheesy, herbaceous pizza. Prep time does not include making your own dough.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb pizza dough, homemade or store bought
- 1 cup broccolini
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fig preserves
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella
- 1 cup baby kale
Instructions
- If you are making your own dough, do so first. When ready to prepare the pizza, preheat oven to 425 degrees for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Toss in broccolini, season with salt and pepper, and char undisturbed for 3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to low. Melt butter, then stir in herbs, garlic, and lemon zest. Heat for about 5 minutes or until garlic turns golden and herbs crisp up. Keep warm on very low heat. If the garlic starts to burn, cover and remove completely.
- Roll and stretch your pizza dough to desired shape and size. Poke a few holes into the surface. Parbake for 8 minutes on a pizza stone or a sheet tray.
- Pizza, assemble! Spread fig preserves onto the bottom, then sprinkle parmesan and evenly distribute mozzarella. Scatter kale and broccolini. Finish with drizzles of lemon herb butter. Bake for 12 minutes, then turn the broiler to HIGH for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese turns golden and slightly bubbly. Watch closely! Remove from oven, slice, and chow down!
