Mangalitsa Leaf Lard Dough made into a Mangalitsa Pizza….that rhymes and it’s awesome too!

August 4, 2010 by ericriveracooks

Hmmmmmmm, that’s a pretty good looking dough. It’s doubled in size and it’s ready maybe I should…..STOP LEAVE IT THERE JUST WAIT………..Patience!

Ready to cook your dough?  Let’s make a sauce! Render some Mangalitsa speck, add some carrots, celery, onion, and cherry wood smoked tomatoes (oh […]

Pizza with a Veal Demi Sauce, Country Ham, and Beecher’s Smoked Cheese

April 4, 2010 by ericriveracooks

Worked most of the day, wanted pizza, so I made some!  I looked for a nice dough recipe then proceeded to make an awesome pizza.  Listen, it’s all about the crust with me. You can put gold bars on a pizza but if the crust isn’t crunchy, a little caramelized underneath, and bubbly with great yeast development then Eric is not happy.  There are a lot of great pizza places in Seattle so normally I don’t have to make my […]

Take it away Mom: “There is nothing better than having pizza and a family night.  I made two home made pizzas and the family was happy.  For dessert we had dulce de papaya and farmers cheese.  That included beer and other refreshments.  We played guitar hero. It was an awesome Friday night.” Ixa

July 13, 2009 by ericriveracooks

(Click each picture to make it larger) Yes, I know…..I’m not supposed to eat stuff like this because I’m going to culinary school and frozen pizza is bad for you and all that jazz.

When I get home at 10PM I don’t really feel like cooking for 2 hours, I only feel like cooking for 3 minutes and 30 seconds so I can catch up with blogging, e-mails, […]
