Recipe Introduction
This is a delicious idea for pizza that would work for a meal or make a great appetizer cut into small pieces. May be served at room temperature. You could also just use the toppings on toasted bruschetta or pita bread.
List of Ingredients
One 14" prebaked pizza crust
3/4 c. sun dried tomatoes
2 tbsp. + 1 tbsp. olive oil, separated
2 large thinly sliced sweet onions
salt and pepper to taste
4 large peeled, whole garlic cloves
1 tsp. anchovy paste
2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 lb. finely shredded or diced small mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese Recipe
In a medium bowl, cover the dried tomatoes with boiling water and let soak until soft, about 30 minutes.
(Could take more or less time, depending on the size of the tomatoes and dryness.)
Remove from bowl and squeeze out excess liquid. If desired, reserve the liquid for another use.
Heat the 2 tbsp. oil in a large skillet.
Add the onions and saute until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Continue to saute until it is a rich golden brown color, about 20 minutes.
Add the whole garlic cloves during the last 10 minutes so they will caramelize, keeping them separate from the onions when stirring.
Remove from the pan and cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 450.
(If using a store-bought crust, follow the package instructions for baking.)
Place the tomatoes, garlic, 1 tbsp. oil and some salt and pepper in a blender/food processor.
Blend just until the mixture is pureed but still has texture.
Spread the cooled onions on pizza crust and press down with your hand.
Spread the tomato mixture on top, pressing lightly.
Sprinkle with the oregano and mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle the Parmesan and some extra pepper on top.
Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until crust is golden and topping is hot.
Remove from oven and place on cutting board.
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Makes one 14" pizza.
