Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tbsp. olive oil
1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)
salt + pepper to taste
1 tbsp. butter

Steps:

CARAMELISED ONION & GOAT'S CHEESE PIZZA



Caramelised onion & goat's cheese pizza image

Make a veggie pizza that's healthy and low-fat instead of ordering a takeaway. This easy recipe uses goat's cheese for tang while the onions give it sweetness

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Main course, Supper

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

125g wholemeal flour , plus a little for kneading if necessary
½ tsp instant yeast
pinch of salt
1 tsp rapeseed oil , plus extra for greasing
2 onions , halved and thinly sliced
2 tsp rapeseed oil
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
160g baby spinach leaves (not the very tiny ones), chopped
2 large garlic cloves , finely grated
50g soft goat's cheese
4 pitted Kalamata olives , quartered
few soft thyme leaves
1 tsp sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the flour into a mixer with a dough hook, or a bowl. Add the yeast, salt, oil and just under 100ml warm water then mix to a soft dough. Knead in the food mixer for about 5 mins, but if making this by hand, tip onto a work surface and knead for about 10 mins. The dough is sticky, but try not to add too much extra flour. Leave in the bowl and cover with a tea towel while you make the topping. There is no need to let the dough prove for a specific time - just let it sit while you get on with the next step.
  • Tip the onions into a non-stick wok and add the oil, 4 tbsp water and balsamic vinegar. Cover with a saucepan lid that sits inside the pan to help the onions soften, then cook for 15 mins, stirring about 3 times and replacing the lid quickly so as not to lose too much moisture. After the time is up, the onions should be golden and all the liquid gone. Tip onto a plate. Add the spinach and garlic to the pan and stir-fry until the spinach has wilted.
  • Take the dough from the bowl and cut in half with an oiled knife, then press each piece into a 25-15 cm oval on a large greased baking sheet with oiled hands. Don't knead the dough first otherwise it will be too elastic and it will keep shrinking back.
  • Spread with the spinach followed by the onions, then dot with the cheese and scatter with the olives, thyme and sunflower seeds. Bake for 15 mins until golden and the base is cooked through.

CARAMELIZED ONIONS, APPLE, WALNUTS AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA



Caramelized Onions, Apple, Walnuts and Goat Cheese Pizza image

Elegant, rich, creamy, and honestly not hard. Premade pizza dough and just a few ingredients make this a great appetizer or a great side to some roasted chicken or pork. I like to make this in a rectangle, but you can make this round and serve as pizza slices. What ever is easiest for you. This is a wonderful starter for a dinner party with friends. This served along a nice rich fall salad with roasted vegetables is a perfect first course. Roasted duck or cornish hens, a slow roasted pork roast with braised sweet potatoes in a maple bourbon sauce or a rich guinness beef stew. Fall flavors.

Categories     Fruit

Time 1h15m

Yield 16-20 Individual appetizers, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 medium sweet white onions (cut in half and thin slice)
5 medium granny smith apples (skin on and thin sliced)
1 cup goat cheese (crumbled)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped fine
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
pepper
1 (14 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough

Steps:

  • Onions and Apples -- In a large non stick skillet on medium high heat, add the butter, olive oil, onions and start to caramelize. Cook about 5 minutes until they start to brown. Then add the apples, thyme, salt and pepper to taste and cook for approximately 20 minutes until the apples get very soft and brown and almost appear to melt "spreadable.".
  • Crust -- I use a baking sheet for this and spray with Pam. Then spread out and lightly roll the pizza dough into a rectangle to fit in the baking pan. Make sure to press the dough out and then prick with a fork all over the crust. This will prevent the crust from "puffing up" or "bubbling" when you cook it. I mix the olive oil, garlic and pepper and brush over the top of the crust and cook at 425 for about 10-12 minutes until it gets slightly brown. Remove from the oven and slightly cool.
  • Topping -- Spread the apple onion mixture over crust and garnish with the goat cheese and walnuts fine chopped.
  • Broil -- I like to broil the pizza for just 3-5 minutes on the middle rack until the cheese starts to soften and melt.
  • Serve -- Cut into squares and serve along side a salad or with any grilled dish. It is a great savory/sweet appetizer or starter dish.

CARAMELIZED ONION, WALNUT, AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA WITH A BEER CRUST



Caramelized Onion, Walnut, and Goat Cheese Pizza with a Beer Crust image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h10m

Yield Two 12 inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds (6 large) onions, very thinly sliced
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped (not ground) walnuts
3 cups unbleached flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12ounce) can or bottle beer (beer such as Budweiser is fine)
Oil for greasing
1 1/2 cups ( 8 ounces) crumbled soft goat cheese (such as Montrachet)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or stockpot over medium heat. Add the onions and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Toss to coat well, then cover the pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the onions are very soft and are caramel brown all over. After the first 10 minutes or so of cooking, you will have to lower the heat to prevent sticking. The onions need to be cooked slowly over low heat in order to caramelize properly; this will take about 45 minutes. By cooking them covered, you can use less oil to achieve this. Remove the cover from the pan, then add the walnuts. Cook 5 minutes, tossing frequently. Remove the onions from the heat and let cool.
  • To make the crust, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Pour in the beer and mix well. The dough will be sticky. Spread a handful of flour on your work surface and dump the dough onto it. Toss the dough around to coat it with the flour and prevent it from sticking. Knead it 2 or 3 times to make it pliable. Shape the dough into a ball, then divide it in two.
  • Grease 2 baking sheets. Use a rolling pin to roll each ball into an 11 or 12 inch circle. Spread half the onion mixture onto each pizza. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese all over each pizza. I like to cook one pizza at a time, but you can cook the pizzas on 2 different oven racks and alternate them halfway through the cooking. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top or underneath
