Hey all, I was just remembering back to when I was a kid and my uncle used to take us camping. It was always and adventure with him and he was always trying new things. I remember one time he said “Hey kids, how about some pizza?” Well, you know kids, “How are we supposed to have pizza without an oven?”, was the popular response. He took out his skillet, put it on the fire and started mixing some ingredients. Shortly thereafter we had a wonderful home-made pizza right over the fire. Recently I was able to get him to cough up his recipe, now keep in mind this is his recipe and you can add whatever ingredients that you want.
Caribbean Chicken Pizza
2 T. Vegetable oil
1 Cup Cornmeal
1 t. Ground cumin
1 Cup Buttermilk
2 Cup Diced chicken
1 Cup Picante sauce or salsa
2 T. Worcestershire Sauce
1 T. Lime juice
1/2 t. Dried thyme
1/4 t. Ground allspice
1 Cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/4 Cup Diced green onions
1/4 Cup Diced red peppers
1 Jalapeno pepper, minced
Brush oil over surface of a 10-1/2″ black cast iron skillet. Place over fire until hot. While pan is heating, blend corn meal, cumin, and buttermilk together.
Carefully remove hot skillet and pour corn meal mixture into it, spreading evenly. Return to oven; bake just until firm and set, but prior to turning brown. Mix together chicken, picante sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, thyme and allspice, blending well.
Remove skillet; spread chicken mixture over, spreading to cover entire surface. Sprinkle with cheese, green onions, red peppers and jalapeño pepper; cook until bubbly. Remove from heat; cut into wedges and serve hot from skillet.
