What other fruit ( pineapple is wellknown ) would tast good on a pizza? That was the question i asked during lunch at school. The results off that class…
Passionfruit, watermelon and Strawberry were the favorite ones to be tasted.
Bad idee was kiwi, apple and cherrys.
What do you think?
Tomato is pretty popular in a sauce form, not a fan of the fruit myself though.
In seriousness, I could see pear being good. Pears on a grilled cheese sandwich is fantastic.
Local pizza place near me has a pear pizza that carries the name of the restaurant (so they must be proud of it?). It is:
- fresh mozzarella
- shaved pear
- caramelized onions
- hot honey (I think this means honey with a little red chili in it)
- pistachios
They offer/suggest adding prosciutto to the pizza (after baking), which we usually do.
It’s damn fine.
I’ve seen thin slices of apple or pear with something like goat cheese.
Figs are amazing.
…tomatoes, olives, peppers, zucchini…
Lemon (and/or lime) makes almost everything better when utilized properly, spicy sausage with lemon ricotta for example. I bet you could make a ridiculously delicious pizza with preserved lemon too. Lime would pair well with Mexican-inspired or Asian-inspired pizzas.
artichoke
Tomato :-)
I don’t believe you.
Damn. You beat me to it
:-)
Local place has bruschetta tomatoes as a topping, so good
Fig with prosciutto
Fig and Pig is a great combo for pizza!
BBQed Jackfruit
Olives
Peppers.
Pear works well on white pizza
Apples work well on white pizza as well. Perhaps OP only tried with red sauce, which I imagine wouldn’t be very good.
But indeed there’s a local pizza place around where I live that does a simple olive oil base topped with creamy cheese, tart apples, arugula, and drizzled with balsamic glaze. It’s utterly fantastic
Possibly with walnuts and blue cheese.
I had Hawaiian with kiwi! It was good
They call it a Pizza New Zealand at my local pizza place, and it’s pretty good!
Sounds intriguing
Jackfruit! You can use it to make a mean vegan pulled “pork”, it’d be great on a BBQ pizza.
As someone who loves Jackfruit, i think the actual fruit bulb of one is much too sweet for a pizza topping.
What you are talking about is actually a byproduct of the fruit which is called the rags. Which can be cooked and eaten, as well as the seeds. Although in my opinion the seeds are much tastier than the rags, just boil them till soft. get yourself a fresh jackfruit and try it.
I think it’s great that we can find ways to eat more parts of the jackfruit, but the fact that most Americans think that jackfruit is just the rags and not the actual fruit means that they never had a fresh one and instead fell for a marketing ploy.
I don’t think it’s a marketing ploy, it’s just not explained in great detail on the can where exactly it comes from. It’s not like anyone could possibly benefit from people not knowing what jackfruit is.
Its a ploy in that people assume they are eating fruit and not some kind of pulp that’s next to the actual fruit. Jackfruit rags don’t sound too tasty so they leave it out purposefully. I understand but wouldn’t mind if they invented another word to use so if I actually serve jackfruit fruit to people it’s not weird for them by how different it is from the rags.
I still think it’s strange that the seeds aren’t also marketed as edible. Its kinda like potato once boiled so I guess potatoes are just easier to use in a large scale.
Never saw one in a store tnh. No clue how they taste
Is that what the whole thing is with jackfruit burgers and pulled jackfruit? They’re using the byproducts?
I guess you can call it byproducts. The bulbs have a strange creamy texture on the inside, but the outside is also quite fibrous. You wouldn’t make a burger from that.
You might be thinking of a durian? The bulbs are hollow once you remove the seed in them.
Black Olives (or green, either way).
Try kalamatas.
Need to go look that up. No id what that is
Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)
People put American cheese on goddam apple pie for Christ’s sake, apple on a pizza sounds waaaay better.
My local favorite is apple slices+bacon, it’s the best.
My guess is that it depends on the apple type.
Some apples are better than other to make apple pies without making it soggy, same issue could apply to pizzas.
That’s a good point. I haven’t cooked anything with apple that could go soggy for years, so I hadn’t thought of that. Pulled pork and apple pizza is sounding nice though :)
Apple sauce instead of tomato based sauce, shred the pork and cheese, would go really well with jerk pork
