Red Onion and Mushroom Pizza

Another one of Zainab’s recipes (as are nearly all my posts in the last 3 weeks), this pizza combines the flavor of red onions and tomatoes.
Red onions are stronger than the normal white or yellow onions that we usually use and have a slightly different flavor as well. I don’t know why they’re called ‘red’ when they’re actually a deep purple in color. Tinned tomatoes were chopped and spread on the base (which Zainab makes herself - no store bought stuff for her!), topped with a sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper, finely sliced garlic and mixed Italian herbs. On that goes a mixture of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese finally topped by sliced red onions and mushrooms. Remember, mushrooms tend to shed moisture when cooked. To avoid this, dry roast them prior to topping the pizza or sprinkle with a little salt and set aside. Drain and rinse before using. Bake the stuff and sit back as people dig in. - Sid |
