Video Attempt: Caramelized-Onion and Gorgonzola P(r)izza

Friends! For this video attempt, (unlike the Robyn one) I have no real their version to show you. All I can say is that when Matt and I shot this last weekend, I had many sources of inspiration—specifically, I’m talking about Dr. Steve Brule, Barefoot Contessa, Kenny Shopsin, the Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home DVD my grandma sent me a few months ago, and all of my other favorite people and entities who inspire me in the realm of cooking and entertainment.

I hope you can see what I mean, but mostly, I hope you enjoy!

Caramelized-Onion and Gorgonzola Pizza adapted from Gina Marie Miraglia Eriquez via Gourmet

ingredients

¼ cup olive oil

1 ¼ pounds onions (2 large), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

Jamie Oliver’s pizza dough or 14 to 16 ounce purchased pizza dough, thawed if frozen

¼ pound Gorgonzola dolce, crumbled (1 cup)

½ cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

directions

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat until it shimmers, then cook onions with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, covered, stirring occasionally, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and keep warm, covered.

Stretch dough into a roughly 12- by 10-inch rectangle on a large baking sheet. Preheat oven to 500-550 degrees. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes while the oven gets hot.

Spread dough evenly with onions and cheese. Place it in the middle of the oven and cook until crusts are brown and cheese has melted, about 7-10 minutes.

Sprinkle cooked pizza with nuts, and parsley. Slice yourself a slice (or have someone else slice you a slice). Enjoy!
