Smoked Duck Pizza

After a little inspiration from last week’s cooking class, I decided to cook duck. I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel, so came up with a new pizza recipe.

I made a smoked duck breast, mango and jalapeno pizza on ciabatta with a homemade garden fresh pizza sauce, Kalamata tapenade, smoked provolone and topped with feta.

I have to admit… that was the best pizza I’ve ever had. For dessert I made a silky coffee creme brulée.
