- Can I use Hungarian sausage?
- Yes, smoked sausage has a similar character, although the flavour profile of Spanish chorizo is slightly different (smokier paprika).
Pizza Española
Although pizza is Italian, this version evokes the atmosphere of Spanish tapas bars. Chorizo is a paprika-spiced, cured sausage that releases its red paprika oil (pimentón) during baking, colouring and flavouring the entire pizza. The pepper and olives complete the Mediterranean trio.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Roll out the dough and spread with the sauce.
Tip: Don't regret leaving the crust a little thicker so there is something to dip in the oil.
2
✓
Scatter over the mozzarella, then arrange the thinly sliced chorizo and pepper on top.
Tip: Slice the chorizo thinly so it bakes until crisp (fat rendering).
3
✓
Throw on the olives and drizzle with a little oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Tip: The paprika fat stains the cheese a beautiful orange colour.
4
✓
Garnish with fresh basil when serving.
Tip: The sweetness of the basil goes well with the spiciness of the sausage.
