15 minutesIngredients
For the Balsamic Glaze:
1/2 cup of a good balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the pizza:
1 pie crust or home made pie crust from your favorite recipe
2 cups shredded cheese, like Mozzarella or 4-cheese blend
1 can or jar of your favorite tomato sauce
3/4 cup Lamb Sausage, formed into 1/2 inch patties
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 of a medium red onion, sliced
Herbed goat cheese
1/2 cup arugula
Cooking Instructions
- Pour balsamic vinegar into a saucepot. Add granulated sugar and a couple pinches of salt. Stir to combine.
- Place the saucepot over medium heat. Once the balsamic vinegar comes to a boil, stir again, set to simmer and casually watch it while you make the rest of the pizza.
- Stamp out the lamb sausage mix evenly into 1/2 inch thick disks. Sauté on medium heat until cooked through and brown on the outside. Cube and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 400ºF.
- Choose a sour dough mix, your favorite pizza dough recipe or a pre-made, store bought dough for the crust. Flour your cooking surface and stretch or roll the crust out to your desired thickness. Fold over 1/2 inch of the edges if you like a thick crust.
- Choose a homemade or store bought tomato sauce and ladle out onto the crust.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly across the surface of the sauce, then the red onion, garlic, and cubed, pre-cooked sausage. Sprinkle your desired amount of herbed goat cheese last.
- Around this time, the balsamic glaze should be finished and set aside.
- Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until brown to your liking.
- Once cooked, turn off the oven and add the arugula and drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Put it back in the warm oven for another few minutes.
- Serve immediately.
