Grilled Chorizo, Goat Cheese, and Watercress Pita Pizzas

These chorizo and goat's cheese pita pizzas offer a sophisticated twist on a quick midweek meal. The combination of spicy, savoury chorizo and tangy goat’s cheese creates a rich flavour profile that is perfectly balanced by the peppery crunch of fresh watercress. By using pita breads as a base, you achieve a wonderfully crisp texture without the fuss of kneading dough, making this an ideal recipe for an alfresco lunch or a speedy evening treat.

As a high-protein dish, these pizzas are as satisfying as they are delicious. The addition of vibrant mini sweet peppers adds a touch of sweetness and colour, while the final flourish of raw watercress keeps the dish feeling light and seasonal. Serve these at your next barbecue for a simple yet impressive alternative to traditional grilled fare.

How to make Grilled Chorizo, Goat Cheese, and Watercress Pita Pizzas

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Sauté chorizo in large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, breaking up with spoon, about 8 minutes. Transfer chorizo to sieve set over bowl and drain. Mix 2 1/2 cups watercress and goat cheese in medium bowl.

Lightly brush 1 side of each pita bread with oil. Grill, oiled side down, until bottom is just crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to work surface, grilled side up. Cover each pita bread with cheese mixture, chorizo, and several sweet pepper rings, dividing equally.

Return pita pizzas to barbecue. Grill, covered, until goat cheese softens, about 2 minutes. Transfer pita pizzas to serving platter. Top each with more watercress and serve.
