Thai Chicken (soy) Pizza

Here is a great recipe we tried a few months back. Other than being short on the bok chok, it was quite flavorful. Here is the recipe:

- 1/4 cup natural salt-free peanut butter (got it fresh ground from Whole Foods)

- 1 tbsp reduced salt tamari sauce

- 1 tbsp chili paste (e.g. Thai red curry paste is what we used..)

- 1 tbsp sugar

- 2 1/4 tsp tamarind

- 1 clove garlic minced

- 1/2 tp curry powder

- 1/4 tsp sesame oil

- 1/4 tsp grated fresh ginger

- 1 1-lb pkg refrigerated pizza dough (we got a premade whole wheat crust from Harris Teeter)

- 4 white button mushrooms, thinly sliced

- 3/4 cup soy chicken cut into strips

- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper

- 1 small shallot, quartered and thinly sliced (1/4 cup)

- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves

- hot sauce such as the Vietnamese Chili Garlic Sauce Tuong Ot TOI VIET

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.. Coat baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk together peanut butter, tamari, chili paste, sugar, tamarind concentrate, garlic, curry powder, oil and ginger in small bowl

2. Roll dough out, transfer to baking sheet (or use premade crush). Spread peanut butter mixture over dough. Sprinkle with mushrooms, then soy chicken, then bell pepper and shallots.

3. Bake 25 minutes for fresh crust or until the chicken is cooked for premade crusts.
