To celebrate the recent relaunch of The Orange and all things Pizza we have put together a pretty mouth watering guest chef series. For the month of June we have Robin Gill's take on this Neopolitan classic.
Robin Gill is co-founder of the brilliant Gill Soul Co and has a serious passion for all things fermented, cured or preserved. Robin’s Dough Series pizza, which will be available throughout June, is called Pizza Sophia. As Robin says, it is named after the fierce and wonderful women of Napoli who run the city. A tomato base pizza with fennel seed salami, Fiarelli oil, ricotta, chilli oil and finished with shaved pecorino and capers. The fennel seed sausage salami will be made from scratch in our kitchens.
The key ingredient of the pizza is a traditional preserve called Friarelli. This is a nettle type leaf which is cooked in oil, garlic and chilli and is made mostly by the women running the farms and households in Campania, Italy
