Ingredients
  

  • 1 14 " to 16" pizza crust see notes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 to 2 ounces Spanish chorizo - 1/4" dice
  • 1 shallot - minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic - minced
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Mediterranean oregano
  • 1 can minced clams with juice
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella - sliced thin
  • 1 ounce parmesan - grated
  • 4 cups arugula
  • 1 lemon - zest and juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • sea salt/fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475℉/246℃.
  • Heat the olive oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced chorizo, shallot, and garlic. Saute 1 to 2 minutes until very fragrant. Add the crushed red pepper and oregano, saute another 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the clams and their juice. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
  • If using pizza dough, blind bake the crust until it is beginning to brown. If using a prepared crust, skip this step.
  • With crust on a pizza stone or sheet pan, spread the chorizo and clam mixture evenly over the pizza.
  • Top with a few thin slices of mozzarella and sprinkle with grated parmesan.
  • Place in hot oven. Bake 5 to 8 minutes until pizza edges are nice and brown and cheese is bubbly.
  • While the pizza bakes, whisk the lemon juice and zest with the olive oil, then toss with the arugula. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven, top with the arugula salad, and serve.

Notes

If you're starting this pizza with dough, you need to precook the crust.
