Original Recipe Yield 2 pizzas
 

Ingredients

  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 red onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 fresh jalapeno peppers, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crusts
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Mix the tomatoes and salt in a mesh strainer. Let mixture sit and drain for 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  3. Combine the drained tomatoes, 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese, onion, basil, pepper, olive oil, jalapenos, olives, and mushrooms in a bowl. Spread the pizza sauce evenly onto the pizza crusts.
