We love a bit of Friday or Saturday night home made pizza action around here.
There’s usually a list of tried and true toppings we reach for every time. Potato & rosemary, tomato & basil, salami and ricotta, prosciutto… to name a few.
But every now and them I get inspired to try something new.
You can imagine the response I got when I suggested to my Irishman that we try kale on our pizza last weekend.
Not exactly enthusiastic.
But I tried it anyway. And am glad I did!
We both LOVED the earthy greenness of the kale pizza, with the kale edges all crispy and cheesey.
I think we’ve found a new favourite pizza (second to potatoes, of course).
___________

Have an awesome weekend!

Note: the image above also has some pork sausage on the pizza… it’s equally good without!
