Pizza Night In

Sunday night seems to me to be a night for dinners in front of the TV watching a movie or a favourite show, with a glass of wine in hand! Last night was no exception. It was pizza night.

Donna told me there was still another pizza to be made from her magazine, and so there was!  'Cheats caramelised onion and Gorgonzola pizza' to be exact. Having made the other pizza recipe in the magazine a few weeks ago 'cauliflower, sage and raclette pizza', which required me to make the dough from scratch, I was keen to try the "cheat's" pizza
I think there are 2 reasons why this would be a cheat's pizza;

1. there was no need to make, knead and prove the dough as the pizza is constructed on a Lebanese flat bread
2. the caramelised onion is done quickly - in about 10 minutes - as opposed to a much longer time if doing caramelising properly! 

So I duly made the pizza as ordered, but also made a few others for variety. We had a pumpkin, feta & pine-nut pizza, a mushroom and anchovy pizza, a potato and rosemary pizza and a plain vegetarian pizza which had some of our favourite veges on it; zucchini, capsicum, onion, mushroom, & broccoli. All were made on the aforementioned flat breads, and all worked out well.

Back to the pizza at hand though.

Now I'm no great fan of the cheese actually and blue cheese has to be my least favourite sort, but I was game to try the Gorgonzola, especially as it came on a pizza ;-)
It was strong without being overpowering and I liked the combinations of the sweet caramelised onions with the tang of the Gorgonzola. Also on top was a little greenery in the shape of watercress. Now that stuff has quite the peppery kick! Another new taste for both of us

Perhaps a few issues with this pizza....I should have put less 'stuff' on it, especially the watercress, and it could have been a little crispier, maybe cooked a little longer! 

A good result though, as the empty plate would testify!
