If you’ve been around on this blog for a bit, you’ll know pizza is one of my favorite things to eat. Here’s a very Norwegian-tasting pizza that’s super easy to make for the weekend!

Heads up everybody, cause here’s the recipe you’ve all been waiting for! As you eyeball your plate, at the face of it, it’s some gruesome culinary prank. But appearance is only skin deep, and below is the softest, most succulent meat you can imagine; say hi to Norwegian Smalahove!
