PIZZA TUESDAYS

Roasted broccoli, walnut pesto, pecorino cheese, charred lemons, crispy chickpeas & toasted breadcrumbs We've been on a real lemon kick lately. If you can find Meyer lemons, those are ideal for eating whole slices, but charring them makes even regular lemons caramelized and smoky enough to eat in thin slices like this. Also, I have to admit that until pretty recently, I was not a fan of broccoli. Adam has been trying to convert me for a while, and it finally seems to have stu

Oven-roasted cherry tomatoes & chanterelle mushrooms, garlic scape pesto with walnuts & Parmesan cheese, fresh feta cheese, toasted pine nuts Garlic scapes are such a great find this time of year. They make you feel like you went out and foraged for wild garlic even when you just walked down the street to the farmers' market. They're also super versatile and they go great with our chanterelle mushrooms (also a great find that we wished we had foraged for). You can, of course,

Savory rhubarb-cranberry jam, caramelized onions, pan-fried chipotle goat cheese, walnuts, fresh thyme Fried goat cheese can be temperamental, but it's totally worth it for that crispy-on-the-outside, melty-on-the-inside result.

Since you're going to be shaping the cheese discs with your hands, this might mean putting them back in the fridge for a bit after

Vegetarian fesenjan (with walnuts & sumac), roasted eggplant, pomegranates, fried noodles, parsley & mascarpone Fesenjan is a Persian dish that is typically made as a chicken stew with walnuts and pomegranates, but we found a recipe a while back that made a vegetarian version with eggplant, and it is supremely delicious. We actually make a version of this sauce every couple of weeks because it's so easy to do—we let it cook down to an even thicker, pastier consistency and jus

Poached pear dumplings, blue cheese sauce with basil & walnuts, arugula, raspberries We’ve played around with using dumpling-style toppings on pizzas before (see: Samosa Pizza). It’s a bit decadent to have dough on dough, sure, but it’s also extra tasty! This time we wanted to sweeten the deal with some poached pears that are peeking out of the little dumpling blankets they’re in. It’s cozy and delicious.
