It was Friday night and the plan for dinner was pizza. Not just any pizza but Me N Ed's perogy pizza! A break from cooking provided a chance to try out something I had not heard of until this past December. Pizza Oil. The bottle caught my eye and the sales lady's description of it drizzled over a hot pizza twisted my "rubber" arm into purchasing it. The pretty bottle sat on my counter taking up valuable space for the last 4 months until the opportunity to try it out presented it self last night. The smell of fresh pizza filled our average sized 2 bedroom condo and we almost forgot about the pizza oil in favor of inhaling our dinner as soon as it came through the door. We restrained ourselves long enough to cork the pizza oil and take in the sent of herbs and peppers that escaped the long elegant bottle. The question now was drizzle or dip? Choosing more even distribution we opted for dipping. The choice was definitely the right one. The silky oil with a hint of heat from the peppers was the perfect complement to the crisp and delicate crust Me N Ed's was famous for. On my list of items to have again this had earned its place. Maybe even for lunch today.
Other ideas for this yummy oil was to add a nice italian balsamic vinegar and use it as a dip for foccacia or turkish bread.... More to come another day!
