A delicious and unique pizza option
Taking inspiration from the classic pizza capricciosa, our vegetarian version foregoes the tomato-base and swops mozzarella for a luxuriously creamy truffle cheese. A sprinkling of lemon zest adds the tangy and slightly bitter notes that would traditionally come from black olives, while the pine nuts and rosemary round off the bold flavours of this pizza. Quick to pull together with a short list of ingredients, this recipe will be your new go to for everything from laid-back dinners to sophisticated finger food at your next cocktail party.
The best side dishes to serve with artichoke pizza
A fresh and crunchy salad is always a good idea. Try an Italian inspired rocket salad with parmesan shavings (skip the cheese to keep the meal vegetarian), dressed with a simple olive oil and lemon vinaigrette. The peppery, spicy and bitter notes of the rocket, along with the lemony dressing pairs especially well with this pizza. An antipasto platter will also work well and can include anything from olives and cured meats to cheese and marinated vegetables.
Classic flavours to pair with artichoke
Technically a thistle, artichokes have a unique flavour that is often described as nutty and slightly bitter. It pairs particularly well with citrusy ingredients like lemons, bergamot oranges and even grapefruit. Most proteins, from anchovies and pancetta to shellfish and chicken, will complement this vegetable’s subtle flavours and you will often see it included on charcuterie boards next to cured meats and strong-flavoured cheeses.
How to best store your leftover artichoke pizza
Your first step is to make sure that all leftovers make it into the refrigerator within two hours. Any slices that have been left at room temperature for longer than that should be thrown out. Simply wrap the pizza tightly in clingfilm or foil, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to four days.
