Recipe

Preheat Oven:

Preheat oven to 250°C . Place pizza base on a pizza tray or lined baking tray. Spread grated mozzarella and rosemeary leaves over the pizza base with more on the outer edges than in the centre.

Caramelise Onions:

Peel red onions. Halve and cut into 1⁄2 cm slices. Reserve a little for step 5. Add 1⁄2 the butter and sliced red onions to a pan. Cook on low heat until soft, stirring often for about 15 minutes. Add remaining butter and brown sugar. Cook until onions are caramelised and sticky, about 3 minutes more. Season as required. Remove pan from heat and set aside.

Cook Lamb:

Peel and mince garlic. In a large non-stick pan, heat olive oil on low. Add the lamb and garlic, season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, frequently breaking the meat apart, for 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Spread lamb evenly over the pizza base, leaving the drippings in the pan.

Add Fetta & Olives:

In the meantime, cut Kalamata olives in half. Spread 3⁄4 of both the olives and fetta (crumbling as you go) over the pizza. Reserve remainder of olives and fetta for next step. When ready add a layer of caramelised onions to protect the lamb from overcooking. Transfer pizza to the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes until the base is browned and crisp.

Prepare Side Salad:

Cut lemon into wedges. Combine mixed lettuce and the reserved olives, fetta and red onion together in a bowl. Dress with a little olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice and toss well.

You Plate It:

Remove pizza from oven. Add a good drizzle of tzatziki over the top. Serve hot with side salad and lemon wedges.
