What to do with those leftover Utica Greens?
Greens are a staple appetizer in the city of Utica. They’re delicious! But when you go out to eat and have leftover greens (or have some of your own leftover) you’d hate to waste them. So why not throw them on top of a pizza?
It’s easy because the only other things you’ll need are some garlic spread (just mashed garlic and butter), cheese and pizza dough! First spread a thin layer of garlic butter on to the stretched pizza dough. Next put your greens across the pizza and put however much cheese as you like on top of that! We found that a lot of cheese wasn’t necessary because there was already some mixed in with the greens. Just bake your pizza as you normally would and enjoy! If you like a little extra spice sprinkle on some red pepper flakes before you bake your pizza.
Special thanks to Mike Hardiman for actually creating this delicious pizza! As you can see from the photo, everyone here loved it so much they started eating it before I could even get a picture!
