Black pizza with octopus and prawns

  • 10 ingredients
  • 11 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 black pizza dough (available in some specialty shops, or make your own with squid ink)
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella
  • 200 g cooked octopus, thinly sliced
  • 150 g peeled prawns
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Step-by-step preparation

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook for 5–10 minutes, until soft and golden.

  4. Roll out the black pizza dough on a pizza tray or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a border of about 1 cm.
  6. Cover the sauce with the grated mozzarella.
  7. Arrange the octopus slices and prawns over the pizza.
  8. Scatter the sautéed onion and garlic on top.
  9. Season with salt and pepper.
  10. Bake for about 15–20 minutes, until the crust is crisp.
  11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Enjoy a black pizza with octopus and prawns full of surprising sea flavors. Try squid, mussels or clams for a different version, or add roasted red peppers or black olives.
