Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 -2 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (or use veg. stock)
  • pizza dough (uncooked and ready to roll out)
  • 1/3 cup walnut pieces, lightly toasted, coarsely chopped
  • 3 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled
  • 1/4 lb mozzarella cheese, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 ounce parmesan cheese, grated (about 3 tbls.)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh sage, chopped (or use fresh basil)

Method

  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan. Add the onions, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.Saute over medium heat, gently scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to keep the onions from sticking as they caramelize. After about 35 minutes, the onions should be a rich golden color and very sweet. Add the garlic, and saute for 5 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze the pan with it. Set the confit aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 500*F.
  • Roll out the dough and place it on a lightly oiled pizza pan. Brush with olive oil.
  • Spread the confit on the dough and sprinkle on the walnuts. Follow with the Gorgonzola cheese, then the mozzarella.
  • Bake the pizza for about 8-12 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp. Remove it from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and sage.
