For those of you that don’t know, Andrew’s Jamaican. Well, Jamaican American. He was born here in the US, but his parents were both born in Jamaica. When we started dating, roughly five years ago, I could literally count on my hand the number of times I’d had jerk anything before…because from all my recollection, it was ZERO. So when I started going around his parents, we frequently had it and I wasn’t a big fan. So, it’s been sort of an acquired taste that I have come to love and now have very frequently. Probably, once a month. But, it’s always been his mom making it. I’ve never even attempted. Until this….
This particular pizza uses a white sauce that we adapted from this cookbook, and I promise that it’s amazing. I didn’t even know I liked white sauce until I tried it on another pizza.
What you are left with is a taste bud explosion. Promise to change the way you make pizzas in the future. I can guarantee you that.
