Ingredients

Duck:

Sauce:

  • 1 quart Prepared Creamy Ranch Salad Dressing
  • 1/2 cup Jalapeno Peppers, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped

Pizza:

  • 7" Sheeted Pizza Dough, Rich's product
  • Cornmeal, for dusting dough
  • 2 Tbsp Mild Salsa
  • 2 oz Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Romaine Lettuce, lightly packed
  • 1/2 cup Tomatoes, diced
  • 2 Tbsp Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

Direction

Duck:

  • Score duck breast skin in 1/4" intervals, making a crisscross pattern. Over low to medium-low heat, place skin side down for approximately 8-12 minutes (or until fat is rendered and skin is crisp and brown.) Place breasts in a 400 degree oven for 3-4 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. Let rest 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove skin from duck breast and discard. Thinly slice duck breast, slicing across the grain.

Sauce:

  • Combine ranch dressing, jalapeno and cilantro. Refrigerate until using.

Pizza:

  • Dust bottom side of pizza dough with cornmeal. Spread salsa on dough and top with cheese. Bake at 425 degrees 6-8 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
  • Remove from oven and immediately top with shredded lettuce, tomato and sliced warm or cold duck breast. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons jalapeno ranch dressing. (To eat a Piadini, fold and eat out-of-hand, or with knife and fork.)
