Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
The onion is the treasure of the poor man's kitchen. Under heat, the pungent sulphur compounds within it break down, and the sugar content caramelises, giving the dish incredible sweetness and depth. This pizza proves that you can make a feast from the simplest ingredient. In the home of the 'Cipolla di Tropea' (famous sweet red onion), this is a true delicacy.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Cut the onion into very thin rings.

Tip: Thin slices caramelise faster and become crispier.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough, spread with tomato sauce, salt, and pepper.

Tip: The acidity of the tomato and the sweetness of the onion are a classic pair.
3 ✓

Scatter the onion rings evenly.

Tip: Put the onion UNDER and OVER the cheese. What is underneath steams, what is on top browns.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with the mozzarella, drizzle with oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: The oil helps the onion to brown.
5 ✓

Remove, sprinkle with basil and serve.

Tip: The smell of roasted onion fills the kitchen!

Recipe FAQ

Won't the onion stay raw?
If you cut it thinly, it will cook. If you like thicker rings, it's worth sautéing them in a little oil before putting them on the pizza.
Red onion or brown onion?
Red onion is sweeter and more decorative, brown onion has more character. Both are good!
