Fig, Prosciutto & Manchego Pizza with Baby Arugula
Author: 
Recipe type: Indirect heat with pizza stone
Serves: 2 to 4 servings
 
*Manchego is a sheep's milk cheese from Spain. Suitable substitutions would be Asiago or Pecorino Romano
Ingredients
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • Cornmeal
  • Extra virgin Olive oil
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into small pieces
  • 4 ounces good-quality Prosciutto di Parma, sliced into strips
  • 5-6 figs (I used Black Mission Figs), sliced
  • 4 ounces of Manchego cheese*, shaved with a veg peeler
  • A couple handfuls of baby arugula
  • A couple pinches of good-quality flaked sea salt - I prefer Maldon
Instructions
  1. Crank up grill for high indirect heat. Set pizza stone so it's not over the flame. and heat grill to at least 450- to 500-degrees F. It will take some time to get it that hot, so don't get too far ahead of yourself. (You can also cook this directly on a well-oiled grate).
  2. Have all your ingredients prepped. Roll out pizza dough to desired thickness. Scatter a big pinch of cornmeal over the stone and and lay down your crust. Drizzle with olive oil and top with mozzarella, prosciutto, and figs. Close grill and cook for around 5 minutes**. Open grill and the cheese should be completely melted and and the crust puffed and starting to golden. Add the Manchego and arugula. Close grill and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes or until arugula is wilted - if it the arugula has started to crisp, even better. Remove from grill and sprinkle with sea salt. Slice, serve, and enjoy.
