Green Tomato and Cheddar Pizza
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 6 medium to large green tomatoes (about 3 pounds)
- 12 scallions
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough, at cool room temperature
- 8 ounces sharp white Cheddar, grated (about 2 /12 cups)
- Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium heat.
- Put the olive oil in a small bowl or measuring cup.
- Slice the tomatoes 1/4 inch thick and spread them on a baking sheet or large tray.
- Put the scallions on the baking sheet.
- Brush everything on both sides with oil and season with salt over the top.
- Grill the tomatoes, seasoned-side down, until they develop dark grill marks, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Flip, brush with more oil, season again and cook until charred and tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, another 3 to 5 minutes.
- Put the scallions on the grill and grill, flipping once, until charred in spots (don't overdo it) and tender when pierced in the white part, about 3 minutes per side.
- Remove the tomatoes and set aside.
- Remove the scallions and coarsely chop.
- While the tomatoes and scallions are grilling, shape the dough.
- Oil two 12- by 15-inch pieces of foil.
- Halve the pizza dough.
- Drape one half over your fist and gently tug and turn it, letting the weight of the edges help stretch it thinner, so that it makes a rough oblong.
- Then put it on the oiled foil and press, pull and push gently until it is very thin, and measures about 9 by 12 inches.
- Be sure to get the edges thin too, or they won't cook through on the grill.
- Repeat with the second piece.
- Brush the dough with olive oil.
- Brush the grill grate with olive oil.
- Leaving the dough on the foil, flip them top-side-down onto the grill and peel the foil off.
- Cook until the dough just comes up from the grill without sticking, about 3 minutes, and then flip.
- Scatter a handful of cheese and then half of the tomatoes and scallions over each pizza.
- Top with the rest of the cheese.
- Cover the grill and cook, about 6 minutes.
- Give the pizzas a 45-degree turn, cover and cook until the bottoms are deep golden brown, the cheese is bubbling and the dough is cooked through, another 6 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board and serve.
