Goat's Cheese & Caramelised Red Onion Pizza

Taken on a Casio ex-z75 digital camera

Goat’s cheese is amazing. It has a taste that no other cheese can match and it goes amazingly well with caramelised red onion. Now I know when you want a pizza you don’t think about doing any more than just opening and closing the oven but a little extra work goes a long way…

CARAMELISED RED ONION

Slice a couple of red onions as thick or as thin as you like and fry in a little bit of olive oil on a medium heat. Sprinkle with a good helping of sugar then season with salt and pepper. When they start to colour and cook down add a drop of water (about a tablespoon) and remove from the heat.

PIZZA

You can make your own dough for a pizza base. It’s cheaper and more satisfying but for a meal after work it’s not always feasible to do as it needs to prove and rise for a while. So…

You can buy a value pizza base from the supermarket for about a pound nowadays and the same applies for mozzarella so pick them up along with a good sized piece of goat’s cheese (I’d go for Capricorn because its gooey on the outside and crumbly on the inside)

Dot the caramelised onion evenly over your pizza followed by goat’s cheese and mozzarella. Do it this way round because your onions are already cooked and you won’t want them to burn in the oven. Season with a good bit of salt and pepper and cook in a high oven for around quarter of an hour.
sprinkle with rocket leaves and serve

Tip 1. If you can’t do without a bit of meat you can add some thin slices of prosciutto from the deli counter (don’t be afraid to ask for small amounts from the deli counter, you don’t always have to buy a kilo of salami or chorizo!)
