Heirloom Tomato Pizza
Ingredients:
Prep time: 10-15 mins
Cooking time: 30-35 mins
2 large or 6 small heirloom tomatoes, sliced
1 pre-made or homemade whole wheat pizza dough (or for a low carb version you can use the cauliflower crust recipe)
3 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large or 2 small onions
1/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons honey (Use an unrefined sugar if you want this to be completely vegan)
2 tablespoons of thyme, oregano & rosemary mixed
1 tablespoon dried shallot flakes
1/3 cup grated almond cheese
Salt & pepper
Directions:
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C
2) Roll out the pizza dough to form a thin base. Place onto a greased baking tray or a pizza stone
3) Chop the garlic into small pieces. Drizzle olive oil onto the pizza base and then spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the chopped garlic evenly over the top and then cook for 15-20 minutes, depending on width of your base.
4) While pizza base is cooking, thinly slice the onions and add them to a heated, oiled pan. Fry on high heat for 1 minute or until onion slices are slightly brown. Add in the red wine, 1/4 cup water and salt to taste. Cook until liquids have evaporated. If the onions need more time to soften once water has evaporated, add a small amount more. Once evaporated, add the honey and stir continuously until the onions have caramelized- approximately 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
6) Once pizza base is ready, remove from the oven and top with the caramelized onion. Place the tomato slices over the onions and then sprinkle on the herbs, shallot flakes, salt and pepper. Drizzle on a small amount of olive oil and then place the cheese on top. Return pizza to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked.
