Preparation
Grill chilies until skin is blistered and charred. Remove from heat and place in work bowl. Cover with cling wrap and let cool for 10 minutes. Place your pizza stone in grill and heat to 550º F.
Remove chilies from bowl; remove seeds and julienne. Heat tomato oil and sauté onions until soft, then add garlic until it’s brown around the edges. Next, add sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes; meanwhile, rinse and chop spinach. After tomatoes are done, add 4 oz. spinach and chilies, then gently toss in pan. Add 6 oz. sauce to mixture; combine and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll out pizza dough on a floured pizza peel to 18 inches. Add sauce, then cheese. Place on stone for 12 – 15 minutes. While cooking, slice tomatoes. When pizza is crisp, slice and garnish with tomatoes and the rest of the spinach. Serve immediately.
Alternate Preparation, for oven:
