Grilled Pizzas With Pesto And Roasted Garlic Recipe - Cooking Index
Roasting garlic really mellows out the flavor. You can do a batch on the side when roasting something else like chicken or prime rib, which require the same kind of heat. You can store it for quite a while in your refrigerator, or even preserved in olive oil.

For the Pesto: In a food processor blend all ingredients together until somewhat smooth but not totally pureed.
For the Roasted Garlic: Put some peeled garlic cloves in an ovenproof container and roast them in your oven at 350 degrees until they turn a light brown color.
For the Pizza: Spread some of the pesto over the shell followed by the garlic and tomatoes, olive oil and black pepper.
Preheat your gas grill on high for 25 to 30 minutes. Sometimes I will use wood chips to enhance the flavor, but that step is optional.
Place on a pizza stone or on your warming rack and cook until the crust is a golden brown and the top is beginning to brown as well. Slice and serve.
