Pizza need not be made with tomato, and here's a tasty, oniony variation for those who do not like the golden orb (pomo d'oro, or pomodoro in Italian) To make 2 pizzas (or one large one) you'll need:
Prep Time: 90 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- About a pound (500 g) pizza dough, divided into 2 pieces if you're making regular-sized pizzas
- About a pound (500 g) white onions, sliced
- 4 whole salted anchovies, boned and rinsed, or 8 anchovy filets, rinsed
- Pitted black olives
Preparation:
Pull the dough into one large or two smaller disks and let it rest.
In the meantime simmer the sliced onions in a little water, with a pinch of salt, until they begin to break up -- about 20 minutes. Let them cool, and when you can handle them spread them over the dough. Lay the anchovy fillets out in a diamond pattern over the onions and put a black olive in the center of each diamond. Sprinkle a little more oil over the pizzas and bake them for a half hour at 450 F (225 C) or 3-5 minutes in a pizza oven.
Variation: Use sweet onions, along the lines of Vidalia or Tropea.
