Grilled Sausage and Mushroom Pizza

by Kathy Farrell-Kingsley
Serves: makes 4 - serves 8
 
If you think it's too hot to make pizza during the summer, then you haven't tried the grilled version. The best part is that grilled pizzas can be made ahead and then just reheated over a portable grill for a picnic at the park or beach.

Ingredients:
1 pound prepared pizza dough
1/2 cup olive oil
6 T. balsamic vinegar
3 T. minced garlic
2 T. chopped fresh rosemary
1 pkg. Lightlife Italian Lean Links™
3 large portobello mushroom caps
1 large red onion, peeled and cut into 1/2" thick wedges
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese, chilled
4 ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3/4 cup chopped green onion tops
 
Instructions:

Make the Meatballs

  1. Prehat a gas grill to medium or prepare a charcoal fire. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. With lightly floured hands, stretch out each piece on a floured surface to a 9" round.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic and rosemary. Brush some of the olive oil mixture over the Italian Lean Links, mushrooms and onion; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the links until heated through and mushroom and onion until slightly charred and tender, turning and basting occasionally, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the links and vegetables to a cutting board. Cut the links into 1/2" pieces and the vegetables into thin strips.
  3. Place 2 dough rounds on the grill. Grill until the top of the dough puffs and the underside is crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn rounds over and grill for 1 minute. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 2 dough rounds. Sprinkle each with 1/4 of mozzarella and Parmesan, then 1/4 links, mushrooms and onion, then 1/4 goat cheese, tomatoes and green onions. Drizzle each with 1 1/2 tsp. of the olive oil mixture.
  4. Using a large metal spatula, return 2 pizzas to the grill. Cover and grill until the cheese melts and the dough is cooked through and browned, using tongs to rotate pizzas occasionally. Transfer pizzas to sering plates and repeat as directed with remaining 2 pizzas. Serve warm.
