Nduja & Garlic Pizza Tips & Tricks
What is Nduja & Garlic Pizza?
Nduja pizza is a spicy and flavourful Italian creation that combines the rich, spreadable salami known as nduja with the aromatic punch of garlic. This unique pizza showcases the bold flavours of Calabria, where nduja originates. The spicy Italian sausage on pizza creates a harmonious balance of heat and savouriness that tantalises the taste buds. At Isabella’s Pantry, our Nduja & Garlic Pizza features a perfect blend of fior di latte cheese, spicy pork nduja, and confit garlic. The creamy mildness of the cheese provides an ideal canvas for the intense flavours of the nduja and garlic to shine through.
Isabella’s Nduja & Garlic Pizza Tips & Tricks
To create the perfect nduja pizza at home, follow these expert tips:
- Spread it thin: When learning how to use nduja on pizza, remember that a little goes a long way. Spread a thin layer across the pizza base for even distribution of flavour.
- Balance the heat: Pair the spicy nduja with milder ingredients like fior di latte cheese to balance the overall flavour profile.
- Confit garlic magic: Use confit garlic for a mellower, sweeter garlic flavour that complements the spiciness of the nduja.
- Pre-bake the crust: For a crispy base on your nduja pizza, pre-bake the pizza crust for a few minutes before adding toppings.
- Finish with fresh herbs: Add a sprinkle of fresh basil or oregano after baking for a burst of freshness.
