Sardine and Roasted Garlic Pizza
Sardine is umami where roasted garlic is sweet, and a shared savory and rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Bold, oil-rich sardines bring intense umami depth and Mediterranean character to pizza. Slow-roasted garlic cloves become impossibly sweet, mellow, and spreadably soft. On a Calabrian Chili Oil Base base, the sauce's fruity heat and smoky character ties the two together.
