Ingredients

Chorizo Pizza

Instructions 

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the pizza sauce ingredients to a small pot with high sides and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until thickened. Whisk the sauce every few minutes while it is cooking. When it starts to splatter a lot, cover the pot halfway with a lid. DO NOT cover it all the way, or the sauce won't thicken.
    1 cup tomato sauce, 1 small garlic clove, 1 ½ teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, ¼ teaspoon oregano, Optional: ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes, 1 pinch sea salt
    A wooden spoon holds thick red sauce over a metal pot filled with the same sauce, viewed from above on a white surface—perfect for spreading onto your favorite Spanish chorizo pizza.
  • While the sauce is boiling, make the rest of the pizza. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and brown, about 15 minutes.
    2 tablespoons cooking oil, 2 large yellow onions, 1 pinch sea salt

  • Put the pizza dough on 2 large baking sheets and spread the sauce on both. Top with the caramelized onions, chorizo, and goat cheese.

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pizza is hot, bubbling, and the crust is golden. When the pizza is cooked, remove it from the oven and top it with some arugula and a drizzle of olive oil.
