Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1/2 pound store-bought pizza dough, at room temperature
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (see Cook’s Note)
- 1 bunch Tuscan kale, stemmed, leaves finely chopped into thin strips
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 lemon
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
- One 8-ounce ball fresh burrata cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh herbs, such as basil and mint
- 1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
- Balsamic vinegar, such as Villa Manodori, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with the olive oil.
- Put the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Using your hands or a rolling pin shape the dough into a very thin, 12-inch round. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet.
- Coat the top of the dough with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano over the dough and bake until the flatbread is golden and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kale and cook, stirring and tossing continuously, until it starts to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Zest the lemon using a rasp grater and set aside.
- Squeeze the juice of 1/2 of the lemon over the kale. Transfer the lemony kale to a bowl and set aside.
- Add 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. If using fresh peas, cook until tender, about 1 minute. If using frozen peas, stir them in, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Combine 1/2 cup of the cooked peas, the remaining 1 tablespoon grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, 2 tablespoons pea-cooking water, the reserved lemon zest and the juice of the remaining 1/2 of the lemon in a mini food processor and pulse, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as necessary, until evenly processed and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
- To assemble, spread the pea puree over the flatbread, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Top with the garlicky kale. Cut the burrata into six pieces and add to the flatbread. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cooked peas, fresh herbs and prosciutto. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Enjoy.
