Grilled Pizza with Hen of the Woods Mushrooms

Ingredients:

  • 4 strips of bacon, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup of tomato sauce — this time of year, it’s easy to find great heirloom tomatoes for a simple homemade sauce, but I use store bought sauce all the time as well
  • 1 large bunch of hen of the woods mushrooms (see above) very roughly chopped (leaving some large chunks)
  • 1 cup grated cheese — we found something slightly stinky at the farmer’s market which worked great with the earthy mushroom flavors (can’t recall the name unfortunately), but almost anything will work
  • Pizza dough

Prep:

  1. Saute the bacon over high heat until browned.  Remove, leaving the fat to cook the mushrooms.
  2. Cook mushrooms in bacon fat over med-low heat for just a couple minutes.  They will continue to cook in the grill, so you really only need a little toast.
  3. To assemble pizza, start with a very thin layer of tomato sauce, then add bacon and mushrooms, and finish with a light layer of cheese.
  4. Grill pizza (instructions here) and serve with a salad and oaky red wine.
