Our Tuesdays with Dorie baking group is starting 2013 with a pizza recipe. Not an ordinary pizza, but one that has onion confit as a main topping instead of the more traditional tomato sauce! Or should I say Confit D’Oignon?
The original recipe does not specify the types of onions that should be used for the confit. I used equal amounts of yellow and red onions. Shallots and leeks would be excellent also. Red wine and Crème de Casis added a much appreciated flavor to the orange marmalade. White wine or Cognac would be worthy replacements.
And a half-eaten slice featuring the crust:
Since one of my favorite winter salads by the name of Beets Caviar is made of caramelized onions, steamed beets, and pickles I decided to use a similar toping combo for the pizza. Sunday dinner was delicious with Onion Confit Pizza topped with steamed beets, pickles, goat cheese, and walnuts! And of course a glass of young pinot noir…
Please visit Paul from The Boy Can Bake who is hosting the recipe for this pizza of Provence.
Beets! What a good idea.
Nicely done! I like how thin you got your crust. I would have liked that, but I ran out of space on my pizza stone. I’ll try it that way next time. Lovely job on this one!
Looks great! Love the addition of beets. And I like your thin crust.
Your family has such gourmet taste! We were overwhelmed with the confit haha! Fun to try though
Beautiful pictures!

I’m so agree about the glass of pinot noir!!! Well done!

I really like the idea of adding shallots or leeks to the confit, I might try that!
