Fennel and Caramelized Onion Pizza
Fennel is herby and fresh where caramelized onion is savory and rich, and a shared sweet streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Thinly sliced fennel adds a delicate, anise-like sweetness that caramelizes beautifully. 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. The combination is fully vegetarian.
