Ingredients:
Pizza Dough (you can use homemade or pre-made, I like the refrigrated Pillsbury and Trader Joe's)
1-2 sweet onions...I prefer vidalia
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
1 cup shredded fresh parmesan (Trader Joe's sells a big bag of this for less than $5!)
1 tomato, diced (canned work great too)
honey
half of a fresh lemon
sea salt & cracked pepper to taste
1-2 leaves of kale
Directions:
1. Cut your onion in half, place the flat side down, and thinly slice. Caramelize by melting a tablespoon of butter in a non-stick frying pan. When the butter has melted, stir in the onions with 1 tsp brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Continue to stir over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until onions begin to caramelize in color. Then turn the heat to low and stir often until the onions are caramelized to your liking, 20-40 minutes. Add the garlic a few minutes before the onions are done. Adding too early can cause the garlic to stick to the pan and lose flavor.
2. Tear off small pieces from your kale leaves, excluding the thick stem and veins. Place in a bowl and lightly toss with sea salt, fresh pepper,a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a tiny dash of olive oil. Too much olive oil will make them greasy!
3. Spread pizza dough onto baking sheet. I divided my dough into four squares this time to make mini pizzas...Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 5 minutes.
4. Take pizza out of oven and spread 3/4 of the parmesan cheese on the pizza. Sprinkle the tomato on after this. Then add the the caramelized onions to the pie and lightly drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper.
5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the top. Top with your remaining cheese.
6. Evenly sprinkle the kale pieces on top of the pizza. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes depending on desired doneness.
