Easy, elegant pizza

By David Hu

Everybody loves pizza so we’ve found a quick, elegant pizza recipe: Pizzettas with California Dried Plums & Caramelized Onions. This pizza merges the concentrated sweetness of dried plums with the tangy flavor of goat cheese. Since the pizza base is naan (Indian flatbread), there’s no dough to make, saving you time, and adding a nice twist on the traditional pizza.

Pizzettas with California Dried Plums & Caramelized Onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 small onions, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 (6-inch) round tandoori naan
1 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese
1 cup (about 6 ounces) quartered California pitted dried plums

Heat oven to 400°F. In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add onions, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until onions are soft. Add rosemary and thyme and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown. Place naan on a baking sheet; spread 1/3 cup onion mixture on each naan, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup goat cheese and 1/4 dried plums. Bake about 5 minutes or until crust is golden and toppings are hot.
