Magnolia Grill Inspired Pizza

We have a few guests for a couple of days and while doing groceries I saw pizza dough and thought hmmm why red sauce or why pesto - why not a green tomato sauce like the green tomato soup we had at Magnolia grill last Thursday? So I got the ingredients and the wife made a kickass sauce. Everyone loved it! Only odd part is that our guests being from India they wanted Ketchup with the pizza...hmm (it's an Indian thing)

Below is the recipe

Instead of using the standard Red Tomato based pizza sauce I got some ingredients and the wife made an awesome Green Tomato based pizza sauce
2 Green Tomatoes
3 Tomatillos
a jalepeno
Few garlic cloves
Onion
herbs - don't know what she added - am guessing some Coriander, and Cumin (mexican twist), and some basil.
Sauteed everything togehter till soft and then put through a blender - sauce is ready.

The Pizza -
Prebake the crust till it's almost done (get the dough premade at Trader Joes) - stretched the dough , sprinkled with Garlic powder and olive oil and baked till risen but not brown.
Layer on the sauce
Cuts of fresh mozzarella cheese
Left over chicken kebab pieces
Slivers of mushrooms (thinly cut mushrooms)
Julienned poblano peppers
Fresh cut basil leaves
1/2 pizza had pineapple
Bake till cheese is bubbling

Yum!
