Grilled Garlic and Arugula Pizza


Grilled Garlic and Arugula Pizza Serves 8 The arugula in this unusual pizza adds a crisp texture and a distinct mustard-like aftertaste. For a different variation, add 1/2 cup pine nuts on top of the pizza.

Grilling Time: 10 minutes

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4-8 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon fresh grated pepper
1/2 pound sliced mushrooms
