Hawaiian food isn't just pork and poke; there's also infamous pizza, probably more famous on the mainland than on any of the islands. It's controversial, for sure, but utterly delicious; with pineapple and BBQ sauce, there's plenty of sweet to coat these flatbreads, plus some red pepper flakes to add some heat. One bite and you'll be saying “Mahalo!” to the fiftieth state for inventing this. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.
