Question 1

Red onion on pizza

Accepted Answer

Onion is a popular ingredient in cooking. It adds a lot of flavour and can be led in various directions depending on what you want from it. In this recipe we use sautéed red onions. They have a strong but not overpowering flavour and the pop of colour makes the pizza even more tempting. By sautéing the red onions you get a softer texture, and the onions caramelise bringing out a rich flavour that is perfect with the tangy goat cheese.

Question 2

Pizza with rocket – a refreshing topping

Accepted Answer

Fresh rocket finishes off the pizza with goat cheese in the best way possible. The creaminess and softness from the goat cheese and the red onions benefit from a fresh crunch of rocket to balance it all out. It has a bit of a spicy and peppery flavour, which is why it is a perfect match for goat cheese and red onions on pizza. If you do not have rocket, you can also use spinach or baby spinach.

Question 3

Tips for a delicious pizza with goat cheese

Accepted Answer

Soften and mix the goat cheese with seasoning before spreading it out on the dough to distribute the flavours evenly. Take your time when cutting the onions. Use a mandolin or a sharp knife to make the slices as thin as possible if you want a sweeter flavour. Cut the onions into wedges if you want them to keep their crunchiness and intense flavour. Go for a whole piece or log of goat cheese to crumble yourself. Pre-crumbled goat cheese is often harder to melt because of some anti-caking agents that are added to keep it from clumping. Mix some chilli with the goat cheese or the onions if you want to add some heat to the goat cheese pizza. Figs, basil, sage, rosemary, and mushrooms are all good additions to a goat cheese pizza, so experiment with different toppings to create your own version.
