You can make anything into pizza. Taco pizza? Of course. Cheeseburger pizza? Oh yes. Greek pizza? It’s definitely a thing.
I went to college in Northfield, home of Basil’s pizza, which is super tasty, but never less than 547 degrees. I consistently gave my mouth 2.5 degree burns every time I ate their gyro pizza. Worth it of course.
I made my own version of Greek pizza last night- minus the extreme temperature and mouth suffrage. I made a super easy Tzatziki sauce too, if you so happen to be the type who likes extra business on your pizza.
Greek Pizza
-2 thin crust whole wheat pre-made crusts
-12 oz your favorite pizza sauce
-2 tablespoons fresh chopped oregano
-1 large purple onion, very thinly sliced
-1 lb ground lamb (our grocery store only has frozen, so check there if you can’t find fresh)
-2 cups baby spinach
-2 cups shredded mozzarella
-8-10 oz crumbled feta (I found ‘peppercorn feta’ at Aldi’s)
Easy Tzatziki
-Combine shredded cucumber with plain nonfat Greek yogurt + pinch of garlic powder.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Saute ground lamb until fully cooked. Break up any large chunks of ground meat. Soak up any liquid fat with paper towels. Set aside.
Spread sauce evenly between the two crusts. Layer onion, chopped oregano, ground lamb, spinach mozzarella, and feta (in that order) between the two crusts. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until desired doneness. Makes 8 servings.
He ate an entire footlong cucumber down to the nub!
Not really.
