The Golden Girls Inspired Pizza

I have been making a few recipes from The Golden Girls cookbook recently and one recipe I was surprised isn't in the book is pizza.

Now, the girls (golden) love sharing a pizza dinner almost as much as they enjoy sharing a cheesecake, so Cerys and I thought we would try to replicate a golden girls pizza.

They tend to go for pepperoni pizza as Sophia is Italian and LOVES pepperoni, she also loves peppers (capsicum) and garlic, she is often seen devouring a veal and pepper sandwich.

There are a number of hilarious pizza quotes throughout the seven series of The Golden Girls.

I didn't use specific ingredient measurements, I just went with what I thought would taste good, for the dried herbs I just sprinkled some all over the base.

Ingredients

1 ready made pizza base

2 tbsp tomato paste

1-2 cloves garlic, crushed

dried oregano

dried basil

dried thyme

salt & pepper

1/4 red capsicum, diced

1/4 green capsicum, diced

handful grated mozzarella

small handful grated Parmesan

Fresh basil

Method

1. Preheat oven to 210°C fan forced.

2. Place pizza base on a oven proof base, I used my stone pizza base.

3. Spread tomato paste evenly over pizza base. Sprinkle crushed garlic. Sprinkle some of the oregano, basil & thyme. Season lightly with salt & pepper.

4. Add both capsicums. Sprinkle with both cheeses. Arrange slices of pepperoni evenly over top of pizza. Cook for 12-15 minutes. Top with some fresh basil leaves.

Best enjoyed watching an episode of The Golden Girls 😀

STAY GOLDEN!

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see here and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...

Corned Beef Stovies

We love stovies, the perfect comfort food for cold evenings and an ideal way to use up leftover meats. I had some corned beef leftover from Scott's sandwiches so that became the base for these stovies. Ingredients 1-2 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 1 kg potatoes (suitable for mashing) 300ml beef stock 1 beef oxo cube 1 tin corned beef Method 1. Peel and thinly slice potatoes. 2. Heat oil in a large deep pan over a medium heat until hot. Add onions and fry until golden. 3. Add sliced potatoes, beef stock and crumbled oxo cube. Stir to combine ingredients well. Cover with lid, turn heat up to medium-high, bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring every few minutes. Cook for 40-50 minutes or until potato is soft and tender. 4. Using a potato masher, roughly break the potatoes into smallish pieces. Cut corned beef into small chunks. Add to potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and corned beef has brea...
