True Neapolitan Pizza Comes To Monroe...
Only At Carl Anthony's
What is a true "Neapolitan Pizza"?
● A true Neapolitan Pizza must be made in a wood burning oven. Gas, coal or electric ovens do not conform to the true Neapolitan Pizza.

● Use of proper ingredients are important. We use "00" flour,  San-Marzano tomatoes, all natural buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil salt and yeast. All of our ingredients are imported from Italy.

●  The art of making hand-crafted, truly authentic Neapolitan pizzas is a technique perfected by our chefs. Every pizza is hand-prepared with fresh ingredients, contains a fragrant aroma, tender texture and a fire-kissed crust that is cooked at a temperature of approximately 800 degrees for 2 minutes.

● The pizza should be soft with a higher edge or crust with some charring or blackened blisters. The crust should have a touch of crunch.


True Neapolitan Pizza is periodically on special throughout the year at
Carl Anthony's.

Chef Sam Recommends...
Balletto Vineyards Pinot Gris
2008


Balletto Pinot Gris a pale straw colored wine with aromas of lime-sitrus with hints of lychee nut and kiwi. The flavors are fruit forward with lime, orange flower and lychee makin gup the crisp and lively palate that are long and lingering. Please do not serve this wine too cold - the best aromas and flavors come forward at cellar temperature.

 

In the mouth, it’s lush and perfectly viscous with a dose of tartness that balances and holds the wine together. The fig and honey aromas make a secondary appearance in the finish to create a generous and incredibly long after-taste that’s enhanced with a hint of butterscotch.
This versatile food wine has enough body and flavor to complement rich sea-food like lobster and scallops and would also serve as an aperitif. It’s a perfect summertime wine

Do you know...
How to clean clams
?
Cleaning clams is a quick, easy, and important process to be familiar with. If you do not properly clean clams before cooking with them, you run the risk of eating very salty and sandy clams.

1. When selecting your clams, never select a clam that is chipped, broken, or damaged in any way. Also, never choose a clam that is open. Clams should be tightly closed and stored in a cool area where they can breathe. When you purchase clams, make sure to immediately unwrap them at home so they can breathe, otherwise they might die before you cook them.
2. Just before cooking, soak your clams for 20 minutes in fresh water. As the clams breathe they filter water. When the fresh water is filtered, the clam pushes salt water and sand out of their shells. After 20 minutes, the clams will have cleaned themselves of much of the salt and sand they have collected. Pull the clams up and out of the water. Do not pour the clams and water into a straining device because the expelled sand has sunk to the bottom of the bowl. Pouring the clams and water into a straining device would cause you to pour the sand back over the clams.

3. Once the clams have been soaked, use a firm brush and scrub off any additional sand, barnacles, or other oceanic attachments. This is the same final method used when cleaning mussels.

Now that you've cleaned 'em, why not cook something delicious? Try this recipe:

Take over the grill for Dad this Father's Day
with this recipe from Chef Sam


Grilled clams with pancetta, charred corn, tomato, arugula,
garlic and red pepper flakes

 

  Ingredients: Procedure:  
 

2 dozen clams washed
1/4 lb. pancetta, chopped
2 ears grilled corn
6 plum tomatoes diced (medium chunks)
4 cloves garlic , thin sliced
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch arugula
1 tbs. parsley chopped

Preheat grill to 400 degrees. Place cleaned clams and corn on grill. While these are grilling, in a sauté pan on the grill, lightly brown pancetta in oil, then add garlic. Cook for one minute or until lightly browned. Add tomatoes and clams (they will be slightly opened when done) being careful not to spill juice from the clams. Add wine and cook until almost completely evaporated. While this is cooking, remove corn from grill and cut it off the cob. Add kernels to the sauté pan along with arugula, parsley, red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Finish with remaining oil and serve in a bowl with bread or over your favorite pasta.
