Pizza for peasants, just sounded right in my head

Mi Cocina:



Hey guys, Nico here, long time no see.
Not that anyone actually reads this, nor can you see or hear me.


But long time no see. Last time i posted was winter, it’s now spring. Consistency’s the name of the game


So, i didn’t do as good of a job taking pictures of the process creating the different components to my culinary creation as I did last time, rather just pictures of the finished product.. which helps you: 0%

first things first, or in the case of this post - first things fifth - I found another suuuuper legit bottle of wine for 9.99



Doesn't even have a vintage year on it, neither is it TESCO selected. BUT it's got the guys signature on it. ya win some ya lose some

Music: spotify's discover weekly

anyways… I decided to make pizza today - i guess keeping up with an “italian" theme
FYI I just licked a chili flake off of my keyboard - YOLO, ya know.

I made dos pizzas with homemade ricotta, buckwheat crust (gluten free for you paleo idiots) although nothing else is paleo on this pizza, mozz, spinach pesto-ish sauce, and some different toppings


for the crust: 1.5 cups buckwheat flour, .5 tblsp of olive oil, .5 C agua, and .5 tsp sal, I split the dough in half to make two pizzas

para ze ricotta (that's spanish and maybe a french accent): bring milk to a boil in a pot, add vinegar or lemon juice until the milk starts to curdle, let it sit 15 mins then strain it out. 
ZOOM, science (ahem, tina)

fo da sauce: 2 garlic cloves, chili flake, .75 C olive oil, salt and a cup of fresh spinach. whirl that shit up in a blender.  
zoom, less enthusiastically, science wins again. 
(don't you guys love inside jokes)

you can dunk shredded chicken in the pesto as an appetizer, or mozzarella cheese

pizza numero uno: features pumpkin, daikon and apple roasted in coconut oil plus some walnuts atop the afore mentioned components.

pizza numero dos: roasted mushroom and cherry tomatoes in coconut oil. also, can you guess, atop the afore mentioned components

Primero: (that's spanish for first)










Segundo: (that's spanish for second)



Finito, then you kiss your fingers like you're italian.
