Preparation

Step 1

For the Tomato-Red Wine Vinaigrette: Whisk together all of the ingredients except the tomatoes in a bowl until well combined.

For the Pizza Dough: Separate the dough into four 3 ounces portions. Roll each ball of dough into a flat, oval shape. Combine the olive oil and garlic and allow the oil to marinate. Grill the dough on both sides until the dough is ¾ of the way cooked through and then brush the topside of the grilled dough with the olive oil mixture.

To finish: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Thaw the Tomato & Basil Patties. Using a 1-inch ring mold, cut circular rounds of the Tomato & Basil Patties. Heat blended oil in a hot pan and sauté the rounds until crisp. Top each grilled pizza with the cubed patties and ¼ cup of the smoked mozzarella. Place the pizzas in the oven until the pizza is crisp. In two separate bowls, dress both the chopped heirloom tomatoes and arugula in the Tomato Basil Vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finish all of the pizzas with a layer of the marinated tomatoes and then a layer of the arugula. Top the arugula with freshly shaved parmesan cheese.
