Ingredients

The Sauce

  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 small garlic clove, very finely minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes

Chorizo Pizza

  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 2 12-inch pizza crusts
  • 10 ounces chorizo, sliced thinly
  • ¼ cup goat cheese, or more
  • 2 handfuls baby arugula
  • 1 drizzle olive oil

Instructions 

  • 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 the sauce boil, uncovered, for 10 minutes, or until it has thickened. Whisk the sauce occasionally while it is cooking. It will splatter A LOT which is why you want a pot with high sides. Don't cover it or it won't thicken.
