Duck Confit and Caramelized Onion Pizza
Duck Confit is smoky where caramelized onion is sweet, and a shared rich and savory streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Shredded duck confit adds a luxuriously rich, tender, and deeply savory element to pizza. Slowly caramelized onions add a deep, jammy sweetness with savory undertones. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together.
