Ciabatta Pizzas With Sticky Onions Food

STICKY ONION & SAUSAGE PIZZA

Steps:

• Tip the bread mix into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in 1 tbsp olive oil and 350ml tepid water. Mix to form a dough, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise for 30 mins.
• To make the topping, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and add the onions, rosemary and a good pinch of salt. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 mins until starting to caramelise. Boil the kettle. Put the spinach in a colander and pour over the boiling water. Leave to drain and cool, then squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as you can and season. Squeeze the sausages from their skins into a small bowl and stir through the mustard. When the onions are softened, pour over the balsamic vinegar and stir well. Cook until almost all the vinegar has evaporated and the onions are sticky.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and pop in 2 baking trays. Tip the dough out and divide into 2 equal pieces - do not knock the dough back or it won't hold its shape. Stretch and roll the dough into 2 large circles, about 30cm diameter. Transfer the bases to the trays. Spread over the onions, top with the spinach and cheddar, then dot over the mustardy sausage. Bake for 15-20 mins until crisp, golden and the cheese is bubbling.

STEAK & CARAMELISED ONION SANDWICH

Steps:

• Put the grill on. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Season both sides of the steaks with salt, then fry for 1-2 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, slice the ciabatta in half lengthways and grill the cut sides until golden.
• Drizzle the toasted ciabatta with olive oil, spread the bottom half with the onions and sit the steaks on top. Cover with the watercress and close the sandwich with the other half of the ciabatta. Cut into four sandwiches and serve two per person. Serve hot.
