Majorcan Vegetable Pizza (Coca de Verduras)

Ingredients

• 1.5 teaspoons cornmeal 
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt 
• 2 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese 
• 0.5  catalonian crust 
• 3 cups samfaina 
• 3 cups samfaina 

Equipment

• baking sheet
• oven
• spatula

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 50
2. Place a baking stone in oven; preheat 30 minutes.
3. Gently stretch the Catalonian Crust into a 12-inch circle, and place on the back of a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Carefully slide the dough onto the preheated stone, using a spatula as a guide.
4. Spread Samfaina evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border; top evenly with ricotta cheese.
5. Sprinkle with salt.
6. Bake at 500 for 16 minutes or until crust is golden.
7. Wine note: The sweet-savory quality of the ricotta cheese and the boldly seasoned vegetables on this pizza call for a wine that's fresh and crisp, but not oaky. Spain's leading white winealbariois perfect for the job. It's snappy and pure, with just a hint of almond and citrus. Try Nora Albario 2006 from Rias Baixas, Spain ($13). Karen MacNeil
