This particular one was a botched/forgotten simple bresaola method. It was my first time curing heart so I wanted it to be as simple as I could. I just used salt (3% of the meat weight)and intended to let it sit in the fridge, turning daily, for 5 days. I forgot about it and it stayed in for 10 days if I recall. I then rinsed the salt and covered the heart with red wine. That was forgotten again. In the fridge and instead of the intended 5 days, it went through about 10 days of a wine bath. I then hung it in my curing chamber for about a month. You can also use this method with a fridge cure as well.

Here they are in the chamber.

Thanks!! Looks great!

One of these years I really should build a curing chamber.

It's as easy as ordering a few gadgets and potting them in an old fridge. I got the fridge for free from a facebook ad so my cost is probably below $120.

Tikka chicken livers are great........
Tikka Chicken Livers?  :o
Surely you'd need a session in the Sarrie Head for that to seem like a good idea?

A young lady came into my store and told me about a pizza place in Rhode Island that has a specialty pizza with sliced BANANA on it. I was kind of intrigued.
I never got around to trying it.

Eggs on pizzas also works out well. There is even an entire thread on such use, at:

Egg wouldn't be considered being unpopular in France though!

I understand that in Sweden there is a style they call "african" or "tropicana" which has bananas, curry sauce, pineapple and beef or pork.

The Liverwurst pizza was alright, mustard sauce instead of tomato, cubed liverwurst and lots of pickles.

Also, no one mentioned Nutmeg? It nicely compliments the fennel everyone loves...

Individual leaves. They char on the tips and develop a rich sweetness. Pancetta (bacon doesn't work) and fresh garlic. Some EVOO and salt. May only work in NP.

It's an epiphany the first time you try it.

I just shave them thin. Marinate in anchovy butter and add Mozzarella, roasted peppers, ricotta, lemon zest

I have made a passable desert pizza with banana.
Nutella (it is difficult to spread on the raw crust, I may try blending it with a little cream to make it more spreadable), slices of banana, liberal sprinkling of raw sugar.
Cooked it, but the time was too short to properly melt the sugar and caramelise it, so I finished it with a judicious application of  MAPP-gas plumber's torch.

I like the fusion with Mexican food  :chef:
It makes me remember I did a pizza with an avocado sauce, mozza and shrimp and it was good! (I was looking for a pic, found this one, did it with beef I didn't remember  ;D)

I don't know if I'd call them "unpopular", but I love sun dried peppers on pizza. Delallo is the only brand I've ever come across, at only one store. DiFara is the only pizzeria I've ever seen that offers them. They go incredibly well with a good Italian sausage for me.
If we're not questioning the reason for our existence, then what the hell are we doing here?!

You can dock the dough so it doesn't puff and add bananas and sugar to the raw dough skin, and cook it until the crust begins to get some color and the sugar starts to caramelize, then add nutella and pop it back in the oven to warm it through for a ~15 seconds. I did roughly this last weekend, less bananas, but added marshmallows at the end for a smores pizza.

I'd suggest the way we make it in France: fresh cream base (creme fraiche liquide (whipping cream) or épaisse (thick cream)), banana, sugar; after baking drizzle of Nutella, finish with praline bits (not sure on how to call it, caramelized nut bits). In order to get the Nutella drizzle, you need to mix in a little bit of vegetable oil (tasteless) until you get the texture needed. When my friend taught me that, he said that was the secret of the crepe-makers  ;D
