Pizza Today - November 2021 - 45
3 tablespoons whole milk ricotta
2 tablespoons shredded Parmigiano
Reggiano
Pinch of salt, pepper, and red pepper
flakes to taste
Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a
medium pot.
Cut the tips off each onion and place
upright vertically on a cutting board.
Using a sharp knife, cut half of each
onion vertically by plunging the knife
into the center and slicing to the edge.
Place both onions into the boiling
water and turn down to medium high
for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, turn the heat off
and leave the onions in the water. The
outer layers of the onion will already
be translucent and coming off the core
layers. You may gently peel the outer
edges off to let the inner part cook if you
wish.
Let the onions cool for 15 minutes.
Remove and place on a plate to cool
draining off the water for 5 minutes.
Wrap the onions and refrigerate.
While the onions are cooling, mix
the ricotta, sausage, Parmigiano, salt,
pepper, and pepper flakes in a bowl.
Gently pull the layers of the onion
apart and set aside. Some layers may
have rips in them, but these will be
good. Reserve 6 to 8 of the larger layers.
Using a spoon, scoop up the filling
and place on one side of each onion
petal layer. Gently roll the onion around
the filling and gently squeeze like a sushi
chef would. (Some large petals may
wrap around the filling multiple times.)
The ends of the petals will taper onto
themselves while the bulk of the filling
will be in the bulbous middle section.
Continue with all the petals and set
aside.

Large sprig of basil
Bake for another 6 to 8 minutes and
Pre-heat the pizza oven to 550F
Roll out or pan pizza dough and top
with the béchamel, spinach, Parmigiano,
mozzarella and sliced red onions.
Place into the oven and bake for 6
minutes until the onions are just cooked.
Remove pizza from the oven and place
the stuffed onion petals around the pizza
like a flower.
remove from the oven.
Brush the onions with a small amount of
extra virgin olive oil to make them shiny and
press the ends near the center of the pizza
to make the petals stand up diagonally.
Garnish with basil sprig.
