"A decidedly different topping - we were pleasantly surprised with this one! Preparation time does not include that of preparing the pizza base."

• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 675 g red onions
• 12 stoned black olives
• 1 teaspoon herbes de provence

7. Cover with the quartered salami slices and then the remaining onions.
8. Grind over lots of black pepper and drizzle the rest of the oil.
