Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 4 cups)
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more for topping
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 14-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand
1/2 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Oil-packed anchovies, roughly chopped, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Place a baking sheet in the upper third of the oven and an inverted baking sheet (or pizza stone) in the lower third; preheat to 475 degrees F.

PISSALADIERE (ONION, OLIVE, AND ANCHOVY PIZZA)



Pissaladiere (Onion, Olive, and Anchovy Pizza) image

Pissaladière is a pizza-like dish made in Southern France, around the Nice, Marseilles, Toulon and the Var District, and in the Italian region of Liguria, especially in the Province of Imperia. It can be considered a type of white pizza, as no tomatoes are used. The dough is usually a bread dough thicker than that of the classic Italian pizza traditional topping consists of caramelized (almost pureed) onions, olives, garlic and anchovies. No cheese is used in France, however, in the nearby Italian town of San Remo, mozzarella is added.

CRISPY GNOCCHI WITH TOMATO AND RED ONION



Crispy Gnocchi With Tomato and Red Onion image

Inspired by panzanella, the beloved Tuscan bread salad, this dish swaps out stale bread for pan-fried gnocchi. The plump, crusty dumplings do a surprisingly good job at soaking up the summery combination of tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and olive oil, while still maintaining their crisp edge. Shelf-stable gnocchi work best, as they are sturdier and crisp up well, but you could use frozen gnocchi, taking extra care not to move them around too much in the pan so they don't break apart. Top with a sharp cheese such as Parmesan, pecorino or ricotta salata, for a hit of saltiness, if you like. This meal is best eaten immediately while the gnocchi remains crispy, but it can sit for up to 30 minutes, giving the flavors time to mingle. (However, don't let it sit too long, as the gnocchi will turn mushy.)

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 to 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (17-ounce) package shelf-stable (or frozen) potato gnocchi
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes (any variety)
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
Handful of chopped parsley, plus more for serving
Handful of torn basil, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large (about 12-inch), well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high; add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the gnocchi to the pan, breaking up any that are stuck together. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing every 1 ½ to 2 minutes so they get golden and crispy all over.
  • Meanwhile, prepare your tomatoes: If you are using small ones like cherry or grape varieties, simply slice them in half. For larger tomatoes, quarter them or slice into bite-size chunks. (It is good to have a mix of shapes and sizes.) Place the tomatoes and onions in a large serving bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper and gently toss.
  • When the gnocchi are golden and crispy, add them to the tomatoes, along with 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil and a handful each of parsley and basil. Toss and taste, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
  • Top with more parsley and basil, and eat immediately or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a crispier pizza crust, preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking.
  • If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake your pizza on a greased baking sheet.
  • To prevent the pizza from sticking to the pan, dust it with cornmeal or flour before adding the toppings.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings, or it will be difficult to cook.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Onion, tomato, and olive pizzas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. With a variety of toppings to choose from, there's a pizza for everyone. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun and festive party food, onion, tomato, and olive pizzas are sure to please.
