Pizza Gyoza inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
In the 2012 3D-animated reboot of the 2003 re-imagining of the classic 1987 animated series, channeling the lighthearted energy of the 2007 film and preceding the creepy 2014 CGI Michael Bay adaptation, the primary season’s 21st episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ 5-season arc features the eponymous quartet of combatants enjoying something curious: pizza gyoza. Let’s make some! Method Serves: 4-6 Pizza Gyoza Filling Method: In the bowl of a kitchen appliance, add the pepperoni. Process until paste forms. Add the cheese, basil, and oregano. Process the mixture until the ingredients are well combined but there are still a couple of pieces of visible mozzarella remaining. Reserved until able to use. Pizza Dipping Sauce Method: Puree the tomatoes using an immersion blender or kitchen appliance. Transfer the tomatoes to a medium saucepot. Add the basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes. Once the sauce has cooked, remove the basil and garlic. Reserve the sauce until able to use it.
