Seafood pizza
Big excitement in Iceland - does pineapple really belong on a pizza?
The Icelandic President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson had recently visited the Menntaskólinn in Akureyri when asked by a student whether he liked to eat "Pizza Hawaii" and replied that he was fundamentally against pineapple and other fruit on pizza, if he could, he would have that banned.
A heated discussion ensued - about pizza toppings.
And the president corrected on Facebook: He thinks pineapple is good - just not on pizza. He is also pleased that as Icelandic president he does not have the power to legally ban pineapple on pizza. And - he wouldn't want to live in a country where the president has absolute power.
Oh, but he still recommends pizza with seafood: "Ég mæli með fiskmeti á pítsu."
By the way, the American soldiers brought pizza to Iceland...
In light of current events, here is a recipe for pizza with seafood:
Ingredients for 2 pizzas
500 g flour
2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 pack of yeast
325 ml warm water
150 g fish fillet
150 g shellfish
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 large tomatoes
1 pinch of coarse sea salt
1 pinch of black pepper
1 Tbsp chopped parsley
Preparation
In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water, add it to the flour and knead everything very thoroughly by hand.
Then divide into two parts, form a ball each and let it rise, covered, in a warm place for about 1/2 hour.
Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C) upper/lower heat.
Roll out each dough ball as thinly as possible and somewhat circular on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Wash the tomatoes, remove the stem and dice,...
...cut the fish fillet into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix the chopped tomatoes with the fish fillet, shellfish, oil, salt and pepper and chopped parsley.
Then spread the mixture over the pizza bases.
Bake the pizza in the oven at 425 °F (220 °C) upper and lower heat for about 10 minutes until the pizza is ready.
In this sense: "Eg mæli með fiskmeti á pítsu."
