Caramelized Mushroom & Onion Pizza with Blistered Cherry Tomatoes

February 25, 2014 · 4 Comments

IMG_3448You know you’re in need of serious comfort, when after pulling a hefty Portuguese stuffed rustic bread from the oven, you quickly flatten another piece of dough and craft a simple pizza. There are very few meaty dishes I miss eating after become a vegetarian, but there is one particularly that I can’t seem to get out of my mind, especially during winter. I long for the flavors of perfectly caramelized onions and mushrooms steeped in the earthiness of french onion soup. I love the burst of juicy charred tomatoes, and sweet and smokey aromas that lend themselves lovely with crisped cooked basil leaves. IMG_3426I enjoy my basil eaten in its freshest form, but I wanted to intensify the earthy flavors by baking the basil into crackling deliciousness. Basil chips sound like a healthy and delicious snack with cherry tomatoes, or alongside a crispy melty slice of this comforting heaven. Top your pizza with anything that comforts and excites you, let it roast until charred and bubbly and savor in this simple good living.

Caramelized Mushroom & Onion Pizza with Blistered Cherry Tomatoes

Ingredients

Pizza Dough {divide raised dough to make 2 pizzas}

Mushroom Onion Topping

2 tablespoons – Extra Virgin Olive Oil

8 ounces – Portobella Mushrooms {sliced}

1 large – Onion {sliced}

3 – Dried Bay Leaves

Salt and Black Pepper to taste

1 cup – Cherry Tomatoes {halved}

Handful – Fresh Basil Leaves

1 to 1 1/2 cups – Gouda Cheese {thinly sliced}

Basil and red pepper flakes for topping

Recipe

If you’re only making one pizza, wrap the second half of the dough in plastic, then in a ziplock bag, and freeze. When ready to use frozen dough, defrost in the fridge overnight, allowing it to come to room temperature before pressing into your pizza crust.

To make the mushroom onion topping, heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, bay leaves, mushroom and onions. Saute until onions become transparent, caramelized and mushrooms have a good seer and cooked through {about 10 to 12 minutes}. Seasoning to taste.

Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and pre-heat oven to 500*F. Oil a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Place the rounded dough on the pan and stretch and press the dough out into a flat rectangle. If the dough springs back while you’re pressing it out, wait five minutes to allow the dough to rest, flatten  again. If the dough tears, just press it back together, it should be fairly thin.

Top pizza with mushroom and onion mixture, leaving a small edge then top with cherry tomatoes, cheese, and basil leaves.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the edges are charred and bubbling.  Remove from the oven.  Allow to cool for a few moments then slice and top with crushed red pepper flakes and more fresh basil. Serve immediately.

I’ve never been one to connect with the color pu I’ve never been one to connect with the color purple much, & yes I believe everyone connects to colors in certain ways. And yet, Clematis are some of my favorite flowers🌿

For a brief few Spring days each year, the garden is a vision of purples....deep rich violets that almost look black, their sheen like velvet, delicate lavenders & pretty mauves that flutter in the breeze. Nature is a true delight for the soul🤍

They’re calling for a too hot, too soon kind of weekend, but we’ll be surrounded w. love celebrating a special wedding at a lovely location! Hope this weekend brings you moments of rest & joy, that allow you to look at all that is blooming🌱…
tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
