El Paso Pizza Alliteration and Geographical Convenience Never Tasted So Good
I did something today that has always bothered me when done by large food corporations; I named a recipe based solely on geography and alliteration. This video recipe for a Tex-Mex style pizza was called "El Paso Pizza" because Paso and Pizza both start with Ps, and El Paso is in Texas. Ive never been to El Paso, nor do I have any knowledge about their pizza - if they even eat pizza.Not many people realize that there are absolutely no laws or guidelines on the authenticity of food packaging names, claims, and histories. Those cute little stories that you always see on the back of labels about how Aunt Tillie invented her "Bakersfield Brownies" during the Depression, using chocolate smuggled into to the country by trained hawks. Its all made up. The name, the location, the part about the hawks - all invented in some marketing meeting.
I realize that none of you really care why this is called El Paso pizza, but I wanted to call your attention to the whole "amazing but true story behind the name" scam at the supermarket. Just another reason not to buy prepared foods! Anyway, this video recipe is quite tasty and a great idea when you cant decide whether to have pizza or tacos.In the video I mention to try and use grass-fed beef, which is now available, ground in one-pound packages, at most major supermarkets. Here is a link that explains the many health benefits of this, over the conventional corn-fed beef. Im also linking to the Pizza Dough video, in case you want to make your own. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 pound grass-fed ground beef
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp chipotle pepper - more if you likes it spicy
1 tbsp ancho chile powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup sliced Poblano pepper, or Anaheim, or other green peppers
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 1/2 cup tomato sauce
4 oz pepper Jack cheese
one crust or pizza dough for a large pizza

BBQ Pheasant Pizza
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 1-2 hours
Cooking Time: 12-15 minutes
Ingredients:
Pioneer Womans Pizza Dough
- 1 scant tsp. active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 3 tbs. olive oil
Toppings
- breasts of 1 pheasant
- quarter of a red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup bbq sauce, divided
- 10 ounces of fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup pasta/pizza sauce
- 4-5 green onions, white and light green parts chopped
- 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
- red pepper flakes, to taste
I. Pizza Dough
1. In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp. of yeast and 3/4 cup of warm water. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 3/4 tsp. of kosher salt and the yeast/water mixture.
*The Pioneer Woman used an electric stand mixer, but we dont own one. In the age of technology, we found that our "spirit fingers" still work just fine.
3. Mix the dough while slowly pouring in 3 tablespoons of olive oil. If doing by hand, it helps to have an extra set to help.
*If you have an electric mixer, use the paddle attachment on low.
4. Stop mixing when everything comes together. Lightly grease the same bowl with olive oil, replace the dough, cover with plastic wrap and allow it to rest for at least 1 hour. You can do this several days in advance.
II. Toppings
1. While dough rests, prepare the toppings.
Here is a beautiful breast from one pheasant. Looks a lot like chicken, but much smaller. Run under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
For those who dont hunt, this is what a pheasant looks like. They are pretty birds. (This picture does not belong to us.)
I just used a very sharp filet knife to remove the breasts from the bone. I started from the side of the bird and slowly worked my way through, trying hard to leave as little meat on the bone as possible. Waste not, want not.
Here is the carcass. I think i did a pretty good job.
What you end up with is 2 main breasts and 2 tenders that run behind. Its very similar to de-boning a chicken breast.
2. Place pheasant breasts into a small container. Lightly sprinkle salt on all sides. Then squirt some bbq sauce to coat all over.
Prepare the grill.
3. To make the pizza sauce, combine 1/4 cup of bbq sauce and 1/4 cup of pizza/pasta sauce.
4. Slice fresh mozzarella thinly. Set aside.
5. Chop white and light green parts of green onion.
6. Heat 1 tbs. of olive oil in a pan. Saute sliced red onion for about 5-7 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Stir often. Or if youre a pro like my brother, you can flip it. But remember, what you lose you must clean.
7. Once grill is ready, cook pheasant breasts for about 5 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. DO NOT OVERCOOK!
Baste with the rest of the bbq sauce.
Isnt this beautiful, or what?!
Slice/chop breasts into small pieces.
8. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
After an hour or two, the dough wouldve doubled in size.
9. Flatten dough out on a cookie sheet. I found it easiest to use my hands.
Lightly sprinkle some salt over flattened dough. Then spread bbq/pizza sauce mixture over it. We didnt use all of it, but its up to you.
Then top pizza with sliced mozzarella cheese. You can add as much cheese as you want. We went back in afterwards to fill in the spaces.
The pheasant comes next.
And also the sauteed red onion and chopped green onion. Drizzle leftover bbq/pizza sauce mixture over the top of pizza.
10. Then bake in a 500 degree F oven on the lowest rack for about 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust turns golden brown.
11. Garnish with chopped cilantro and red pepper flakes.
And enjoy with good company!

Rick and I have been saving wine bottles to use them for candle holders.
My brother loves playing with fire.
Eating by candlelight makes for a warm, rustic atmosphere.
We ate our pizzas...
And played with the wax that melted off our candles.
Some got to being pretty gnarly.
We also had fresh corn on the cob! We cant wait to buy cheap sweet corn. Its just one of those things that reminds us of summer.
Thats my brother Ngoc.
Rick: Chomp chomp chomp!
My best friend Briana, who Ive known for years.
Also going chomp, chomp chomp!
Rick seemed to be very happy with his meal. I like that. :-)
Then we ran inside to get some cobbler that we made earlier that day, and some ice cream!
And watched the embers die out.
Thanks for being so awesome! We both appreciate your visits to our blog.

SANDRAS HOMEMADE PIZZA DOUGH
 |
| This pizza dough recipe turns our perfectly for your many, many possible creations... |
Prep: 10 mins. |
Rise: 1 hr.
Posted by Sandra
INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 cups warm water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or 1 packet)
3-1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out dough
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more in other steps
1/2 teaspoon cornmeal, for dusting pizza pan
METHOD
In the bowl of standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes for yeast to bloom. Add flour, kosher salt, and olive oil. Mix on medium speed for 5 minutes, just until the dough is smooth elastic. Spray a medium-size bowl with oil, and place the ball of dough in it, rubbing it around in oil, and then flip over and cover bowl with a plastic wrap. Place bowl of dough in a warm place until it has doubled in volume, about 1 hr. (I do so in my oven with just the light bulb on, no heat).
When dough has sufficiently risen, punch the dough down, and place on a lightly floured surface and roll out into a 12” round, building up the outer edge slightly. Transfer to an oiled pizza pan that has been slightly sprinkled with cornmeal. Brush the entire top and outer edge of unbaked crust with olive oil. Par-bake the pizza crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside. Feel free to add your favorite toppings, and then return to oven and continue baking with pizza toppings for 15 minutes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tip: I usually make one medium-sized pizza, and while the pizza is baking I roll the other half into twisty breadsticks: (Click for recipe here: Twisty Breadsticks - Homemade), including searching site for optional toppings for other pizzas by selecting “pizza” as your search.
