Ingredients

  • 1 (14 inch) prebaked pizza dough
  • 3/4 cup dried tomatoe
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large sweet onions, peeled & thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/4 lb mozzarella cheese, diced small
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

Method

  • In medium bowl, cover dried tomatoes with boiling water and soak until soft, about 45 minutes (soaking could take more or less time, depending on size of tomatoes and drying process).
  • Remove from bowl, squeeze out excess liquid. If desired, reserve liquid for another use.
  • Now, heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Saute until slightly softened,a bout 5 minutes; sprinkle salt and pepper.
  • Continue to saute until a rich golden brown color, about 20 minutes.
  • Add whole garlic cloves during last 10 minutes so they caramelize, keeping separate from onions when stirring.
  • Heat oven as needed to bake pizza for crust.
  • Place tomatoes, caramelized garlic, 1 tablespoon oil and some salt & pepper in a processor.
  • Pulse just until mixture is pureed but has texture. Spread cooled onions on crust and press down with hand.
  • Spread tomato mixture on top; press lightly and sprinkle with oregano.
  • Spread mozzarella all around, then Parmesan and some extra pepper.
  • Bake 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and topping is hot.
