Chef #1205208's Note:

Onion, Anchovy & Olive "pizza" A few notes - if you don't have fresh thyme use 3 teaspoons of dried thyme. May also try using anchovy paste (vs. whole anchovies) & spread on pizza dough before placing onions on.

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 1.0 pizza

• 16 olives , pitted (recommended ( nicoise)
• 1 lb pizza dough

Directions:

1. To make the onion filling:.
2. In a large saute pan, cook the onions with salt in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat until very soft & caramelized, about 30 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and thyme and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Season the onions with salt, and pepper, to taste. Cook's Note: Slightly under salt to account for the salt from the anchovies and olives.
5. To assemble:.
6. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
7. Stretch the dough into a long rectangle and place on a greased baking sheet. It should almost fit the size of the baking sheet.
