Lamb Sausage Pizza Recipe

Lamb Romesco Pizza Is Different, but Delicious

June 8, 2011

I've never met a pizza I didn't like and am always looking for new and unusual toppings, so when I received a recipe from Chef Eric Lee of Simi Winery for lamb sausage pizza, it went on the top of my must-make list. With the roasted red pepper sauce, slightly spicy sausage, and tangy feta cheese, it's a nontraditional but super flavorful pizza. Once you make the romesco, the pizza comes together quickly. Cook at high heat for maximum crispness. If you're a fan of lamb, you've got to try this pizza! Here's the recipe.
