While this was the result of opportunistic scavenging, it was quite amazing enough to write down.

  • One nice grilling steak
  • World Spice’s Piri Piri
  • crumbled peppercorn Boursin cheese

Rub the steak with piri piri, or another peppercentric rub, and char it on the grill until medium rare on the inside. When you take it off the grill, lay it on a light dusting of the cheese, just enough to melt and mix with the spicy blood of the steak to form the most sensual of carnivorous experiences.

Ok, so it’s not really like a pizza, but kind of it is. It is cooked on a pizza pan…

  • Two large russet potatoes, cleaned and thinly sliced
  • a handful of shallots, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, diced
  • 1/2 lb crimini mushrooms, sliced
  • World Spice’s Dukka and Urfa Biber
  • olive oil
  • herbed goat cheese, crumbled

Lightly coat potato slices in olive oil and place on perforated pizza pan. Sprinkle garlic, shallots, and mushrooms over the top as well as a nice dusting of dukka and urfa biber. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes, then add goat cheese for the last ten minutes. I served this with a wine reduction sauce made after pan searing a nice peppery steak. mmm!
