Caramelized-Onion and Gorgonzola Grilled Pizza

This caramelised onion and Gorgonzola grilled pizza is a sophisticated vegetarian option that brings a wonderful depth of flavour to your summer cookouts. The combination of slowly softened, sweet onions and the creamy tang of Gorgonzola dolce creates a rich topping that is perfectly balanced by the crunch of toasted walnuts. Cooking the dough directly on the grill adds a smoky char and a crisp texture that is difficult to achieve in a conventional domestic oven.

Ideal as a sharing starter or a main course served with a crisp green salad, this homemade pizza is remarkably simple to assemble once the onions are prepared. Using shop-bought dough makes it an accessible mid-week treat, while the addition of fresh flat-leaf parsley provides a burst of herbaceous colour. It is a fantastic way to elevate your outdoor dining repertoire.

How to make Caramelized-Onion and Gorgonzola Grilled Pizza

Heat 60ml oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat until it shimmers, then cook onions with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper, covered, stirring occasionally, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and keep warm, covered.

Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over low charcoal (medium heat for gas).

Stretch dough into a roughly 12- by 10-inch rectangle on a large baking sheet and brush with 1 tablespoon oil.

Bring dough, onions, cheese, nuts, parsley, and remaining Tbsp oil to grill area.

Oil grill rack, then put dough, oiled side down, on grill and brush top with remaining Tbsp oil. Grill, covered, until underside is golden brown, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes.

Using tongs, return crust to baking sheet, turning crust over (grilled side up). Sprinkle evenly with onions, cheese, nuts, and parsley. Slide pizza from sheet onto grill and grill, covered, until underside is golden brown and cheese is partially melted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into pieces.
