Reggae Reggae Pizza

Reggae Reggae Pizza

It was Tuedsay night, myself and Mr’s Naga were feeling a bit peckish and fancied something different, i was sat at my PC at the time and was just browsing facebook, when a post came up from the “Domino’s” pizza page, so i clicked it and it took me to the “Reggae Reggae pizza pre launch” special offer where you could grab the pizza for only £9.99!! We were both up for trying something different, and because Domino’s are our local “Pizza delivery experts” we decided to give it a try!

Ingredients: Domino’s signature pizza dough,Pineapple, Sweetcorn, green peppers, tomato and “Reggae Reggae sauce” (Please note this is the “Veggae Veggae” version for vegetarians, the normal version omits the sweetcorn and has chicken instead)

(Review sample kindly supplied by Domino’s the pizza delivery expert)

Darth’s Opinion:

“Let me first say that the Domino’s pizza shop in Bordon should be praised for it lightening quick service, from paying via paypal to the pizza arriving at my door was a mere 20 minutes and it was cooked to PERFECTION! The pizza itself was nothing short of awesome, The dough was nice and fluffy and the topping were neither too dry or too wet, they were just perfect.

I like what Domino’s have done with this one, they have basically taken a chicken and vegetable pizza and given it a real caribbean flava (see what i did there?) by adding in some of Levi Roots own “Reggae Reggae sauce” and they haven’t just splashed it over the top, they have used the sauce in place of their traditional tomato sauce, so its in every single bite you take, and the flavour of the sauce (my original review for Reggae Reggae sauce can be found here) really does come through well and make this pizza just that little bit more special.

I can honestly say that i have nothing bad to say about this pizza, in fact the only criticism that i could give it is the lack of any chilli’s on top of the pizza, that would have sealed this review in gold for me!”

Mr’s Naga’s opinion:

“I must say that I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve tried the original Reggae Reggae sauce before and thought it was good, but not something awe inspiring. I notivced in another fast food restaurant that they served ‘Reggae Reggae Chicken’ and I felt a little saddened that, as a vegetarian, the carnivores were getting all the options! So, its refreshing to see something that has been designed for vegetarians as well. Firstly I have to admit that I didn’t give this sauce its ‘dues’ as it were. On its own it is an average sauce; but with the toppings on this pizza is was delicious.

I love pineapple and sweetcorn on my pizzas, and replacing the usual tomato sauce with the Reggae Reggae sauce was an interesting, but simply superb idea. I can’t agree with Darth about the heat level, the sauce is warming enough and I feel that adding chilies would ruin the effects that this pizza achieves.”

If theres one thing that myself and Mr’s Naga can agree on, its that we think “Reggae Reggae sauce” should be an option when customising ANY pizza on the Domino’s website, we have agreed that if it became an option we would probably choose “Reggae Reggae sauce” over the normal tomato sauce base every time, it is THAT good!

This week you can order the pizza for a special price of just £9.99 by “liking” the facebook page and clicking the “order now” button Here:
http://www.facebook.com/DominosPizza?sk=app_110045509078524

After this week you will of course be able to order the pizza at normal prices over at www.Dominos.co.uk

Tabasco Sizzling Pepperoni Pizza

Tabasco Sizzling Pepperoni Pizza

I like Tabasco sauce, it is one of the first chilli products people get to try, who’s has not got a bottle at some time in their lives, the salty peppery taste is unique, while not hot, it does have that certain something.

Well if you like Tabasco and Pizza you are in for a treat, the Tabasco Sizzling Pepperoni Pizza is a well packed product, there is a good amount or Pepperoni, Cheese, peppers and tomato topping, the base it not to thick and chewy, but best of all you can taste the Tabasco infused across the pizza.

My daughter, Lizzi who has written for us before, tried it and gave it the thumbs up, while my son Ant, who does not normally like thing hot, enjoyed a slice as well.

Ingredients: Wheatflour, Mozzaralla Cheese, Tomato Puree, Pepperoni (10%), Tomato, Red Peppers, Green Peppers, Yellow Peppers, Rapeseed Oil, Tabasco Brand Pepper Sauce (1.5%), Semolina, Sugar, Yeast, Salt, Oregano, Tapioca Starch, Cornflour.

I enjoyed this more than I expected, in the past many of these types of product have scrimped on the ingredients and play on the brand name to get you to purchase, this one is different.

Normally a £4 Pizza, but Tesco have it on offer at £1 off at the moment, so if you like Tabasco, pop in to Tesco’s and pick one up.

I first came across the name “Aleppo Pepper” in a sauce made by ChilliPepperPete’s son Wilf and decide to investigate it further, kindly Pete send me a pack of the crushed Aleppo pepper to try.

Crushed Aleppo Pepper

Crushed Aleppo Pepper

The chilli is named after Aleppo a city in northern Syria famous for culinary cuisine, being located on the Silk Road in and area of fertile land, it is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, dating back over 4,000 years.

The Aleppo pepper part of the Annuum species and it grown in both Turkey and Syria, and is also known as the Halaby pepper. The pods are ripened to deep burgundy colour and then semi dried, de-seeded and either coarsely ground or crushed.

The flavour is not unlike the Ancho, but oilier and with a hint of salt, I have been told that salt is often used in the drying process. It is not a very hot chilli, with the heat building slowly, but it is packed with a fruity raisin-ish flavour.

If you find a shaker of chilli flakes on the table on your next holiday to Turkey, it is probably Aleppo flakes. I remember these from a trip to Turkey in my youth, but at the time did not know much about the varieties of chillies to even ask about them.

They can be used anywhere you would normally use chilli flakes, I have been using mine in all sort of cooking and especially sprinkled on Pizza’s, they also add a flavour to rice, I have added some to the water during cooking.

You can purchase crushed Aleppo Pepper direct from ChilliPepperPete
