Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1/2 cup Italian parsley
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice from about 1/2 large lemon
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot from about 1/2 shallot
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon neutral-flavored oil
  • 1/2 batch homemade pizza dough or store-bought dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cob corn kernels removed
  • 1 Salt
  • 3 ounces burrata torn into a few pieces
  • Fresh basil leaves, as garnish

Equipment

  • Pizza stone or baking sheet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Blender or food processor
  • Medium skillet

Method
 

  1. In a blender or food processor, add the arugula, parsley, walnuts, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, shallot, and salt. Pulse until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Adjust the salt to taste.
  2. In a medium skillet, over medium-high heat, add the neutral-flavored oil. When hot, add the cherry tomatoes and cook until blistered, about 5 minutes, turning halfway through. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, then combine with the tomatoes in the bowl.
  4. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Roll out the pizza dough into a thin round shape on a floured surface.
  5. Spread a few tablespoons of the pesto onto the dough, leaving an inch from the edge. Sprinkle with mozzarella.
  6. Arrange the blistered tomatoes and corn over the cheese.
  7. Transfer to the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until the crust is golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and top with burrata and fresh basil.
  9. Slice and serve hot, enjoying every bite of your Blistered Tomatoes Corn Burrata Pizza.

Notes

  • Pesto: Instead of tomato sauce, I made a quick arugula pesto. You can substitute with homemade or store-bought basil pesto or simply use tomato sauce!
  • Rolling out the dough: Lightly flour your work surface to prevent sticking. Roll and stretch until you get the desired thickness.
  • Vegetables: Consider adding sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, or roasted red bell peppers for different flavor.
  • Tomatoes: Cook your tomatoes before placing them on the pizza to prevent sogginess.
