Slightly hotter pizza

Slightly hotter pizza

One part of the Brazilian shrimp stew was diced tomatoes w/ chili. Thanks to the nice taste I got an idea to use it in a pizza sauce instead of regular diced or crushed tomato.

In turn chicken and pineapple fit well with hot tastes and as a result we then had a pizza which probably was the best pizza ever. We have made one pizza after another and it is always just as delicious. And the best part is it is just as delicious when warmed the next day. Continue reading

I haven’t made it for the past few years since I’ve been a bit suspicious of the tastiness of gluten free lasagne sheets. Most of the gluten free pastas are quite tough even cooked and I have been afraid of making a somewhat “hard” lasagne. Continue reading “Lasagne with meat and boletes – gluten free”
