Romanian Pulled Pork and Chilli Jam Pizza
Romanian Pulled Pork and Chilli Jam Pizza
Romania brings the heat with this one - tender pulled pork piled onto a tomato and mozzarella base, then drizzled with sweet chilli jam. The combination of slow-cooked pork and sticky, spicy jam is addictive, and the wood-fired oven caramelises the edges of the pork beautifully.
Originally created as the Romania entry for DeliVita's Euro 2024 pizza series, this is a brilliant way to use up leftover pulled pork. The chilli jam cuts through the richness of the pork and adds a glaze that catches and caramelises in the extreme heat of the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough ball
- Flour for dusting
- 50g tomato pizza sauce
- 100g fresh mozzarella, torn
- 200g cooked pulled pork
- Chilli jam, for drizzling
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Fire your pizza oven to 400-450 degrees.
- Stretch the dough to about 12 inches on a well-floured surface.
- Spread the tomato sauce over the base, leaving a border for the crust. Scatter the mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil.
- Pile the pulled pork across the surface, then drizzle generously with chilli jam. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slide into the oven and cook for 60-90 seconds, turning frequently. The chilli jam will caramelise and the pork edges should char and crisp.
Cedar Tip
Do not be shy with the pulled pork - 200g sounds a lot but it shrinks and compresses. The chilli jam is the star here, so drizzle it in zigzag lines across the surface so every slice gets some. Leftover slow-cooked pork is ideal.
