Super Delightful Date Pizza with sautéed onions and garlic
I made this meal at 8:00PM after a cold and rainy Babe Ruth Baseball Game. It's so easy. We use the frozen, organic (white) pizza dough from Whole Foods and throw it on the counter in the morning when I'm heading out the door.
Ingredients:
One - Frozen pizza dough (left on counter to thaw during day)
One - large onion, diced (or two small)
Five - Cloves of garlic (sliced)
10-15 pitted Madjool Dates (Trader Joes sells them) - number depends on whether you want the entire pizza covered - which I do!
1/8 cup of Olive Oil
Optional: (Trader Joe's Fully Cooked Grilled Teriyaki Chicken)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees while you prepare the ingredients and prep the dough.
Gently sauté chopped onion in 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Once onions are almost translucent add sliced garlic cloves and continue sautéing for another three to four minutes. You can also add Trader Joe's Teriyaki Chicken at this point.
Using a metal baking pan with sides (so the olive oil doesn't drip in to the oven), place 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of the pan. Take thawed pizza dough and from the center work in to a square (or circle) by gently kneading it out with your hands while it dangles in the air until the pizza is less than a 1/2" think. Toss in olive oil to coat both sides.
Place sautéed ingredients on top of dough, open dates, coat with remaining olive oil. and place on top of other ingredients.
Bake on top rack at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes depending on how crunchy you enjoy the crust.
Let me know how it tastes.
Next post will be beef stew served with warm bread from the oven. Perfect for a 48 degree overcast and rainy day in Boston.
