DINNER! Carmelized Onion, Sausage and Basil Pizza!! Fresh!

Caramelized Onion, Sausage and Basil Pizza
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

* Cornmeal, for dusting
* 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
* 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
* 2 onions (about 1 1/2 pounds), thinly sliced
* 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 pound spicy turkey or pork sausage, casings removed, crumbled
* All-purpose flour, for dusting
* 1 (13 to 16-ounce) ball pizza dough
* 3/4 cup (3 ounces) crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Sprinkle a heavy baking sheet (without sides) with cornmeal and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sausage. Using a wooden spoon, break up the sausage and cook, stirring constantly, until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 13-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Spread the onion mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped basil. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve.

* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

* 1/2 onion

* 8 cloves garlic or 1 whole head

* 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced

Directions

Begin by making the jerk marinade. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a blender and process until you have a smooth puree.

Add chicken pieces into a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Put the bag into a baking dish and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

Preheat grill to high.

Prepare a table-top smoker or take a roasting tray, line it with foil and add some soaked wood chips to the bottom. Place a wire rack over the top, upside down, and lay chicken pieces over the chips on the rack. Cover with foil and grill over high heat. Smoke for 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Transfer the chicken pieces to a baking sheet and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Bake in the oven "low and slow" until chicken is tender, about 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the baking sheet to a serving platter and garnish with limes and parsley before serving.
