white pizza with figs

    

Hi, gang! Yet another Farmbox LA recipe. Excited to be working with them for Sweet Acorn's Thanksgiving Menu!!

white pizza with fig, caramelized onion, prosciutto & arugula

1 yellow onion

1 tablespoon butter

10 oz of your favorite pizza dough (I make the no-knead dough, but to save time grocery stores like Trader Joe’s has premade dough)

Cornmeal or flour, for rolling dough

Fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced, or home-shredded mozzarella

4 slices of prosciutto or thinly sliced ham

6-8 figs, quartered

Handful of arugula

¼ lemon

kosher salt

Freshly ground pepper

Honey, for drizzling

For onions: Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat, until it foams. Add onions and a pinch of salt and let cook for a minute, then stir and lower heat to medium-low and allow to caramelize for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not let it brown too quickly – it should barely look like it’s cooking. It is done when the onions are soft and sweet and beginning to turn brown after 30-40 minutes.

For pizza: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle a little cornmeal or flour onto an upside-down baking sheet (it will be easier to take the pizza off later) and stretch or roll the dough as thin as you like.  Spread a layer of caramelized onions. Put mozzarella to cover dough lightly. If using ham, put the ham on top. Pop in the oven until dough is crisp, about 10-15 minutes, depending how thin the dough is. Put pizza on serving plate. If using prosciutto, lay it on top of the hot pizza.

To serve: Toss arugula with a squeeze of lemon and a tiny pinch of salt. Top with arugula salad, a grind of pepper, and drizzle with honey.
