What a sensational pizza. I knew I was going to love it, but I didn't know just how much I was going to love it. And the big surprise was DH loving it too, when it didn't sound as appealing to him. I made a few minor changes: used chicken (and a lesser amount), added basil as well (about the same amount as the cilantro, and topped with both just before serving) and less brown sugar. We did use the optional cheese, but I think it would be just as good either way. All the flavors were spot on, and the lime really gave it a wonderful tang. This fed two big eaters as the sole dinner entree.

Loved this different pizza!! Made one or two small changes, going with what I had : I used chicken rather than turkey and added some shrimps coz I like them. I didn't have fresh coriander (although I did use bottled coriander in the sauce), so where I needed fresh coriander, I used fresh Thai Basil instead, which grows in the garden. I sliced a fresh tomato and layered it on the base, mostly because I had it. I didn't have mozzarella, so used some cheddar instead. Sounds like a lot of changes, but was minimal, and the important part, the sauce, was as recipe --- very yum, I loved it, we both did!!! It looked prettier until I added the soy sauce : another time I might omit the soy sauce in order to get a prettier result, the sauce was very dark -- delicious, mind you! Really liked this, Nancy, thank you for sharing! Made for Consideration Tag
