I’m back from vacation in Greece and I find myself reflecting on the places I visited and the foods I ate. Today’s recipe comes from inspiration from….a beach bar!
Earlier this month, I spent the day at a beach in Halkidiki that was from home. This meant staying there for most of the day. Sun lounges, umbrella, snacks, drinks on order.
My friend and I enjoyed this Mushroom pizza that included truffle cream in the description. This is achieved by mixing heavy cream with Tartufata sauce that one can purchase.
Assembly of the pizza follows with a mix of grated mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, sliced mushrooms and torn pieces of prosciutto when it comes out the oven.
The flavours of this pizza surpasses the simplicity of the dish.
