Pizza Topping / Pork Sausage, Caramelised Leek, Danbo Cheese & Pickle Relish
Tom Kirton

Ingredients
BASE SAUCE | |
1 x 400g can good-quality whole peeled tomatoes | |
TOPPINGS | |
125g fresh mozzarella (I use Massimo’s Fior di Latte) | |
100g raw pork sausage, skinned, pinched into chunks (I use Woody’s New York Fennel Sausage) | |
caramelised leek (thinly slice ½ leek, caramelise low and slow in butter or oil, then finish with lemon & salt) | |
relish (blitz together equal parts pickled peppadews, pickled green chillies and gherkins. This is a versatile condiment for the fridge, but sub anything ‘pickley’ you have on hand) | |
25g Vintage Danbo (I use Hohepa) or similar hard cheese |
I prefer this as a thin, round pizza.
