Lamb and Red Onion Pizza
Lamb is earthy and rich where red onion is sweet and fresh, and a shared savory streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Rich, aromatic ground lamb brings a Mediterranean depth and earthy warmth to pizza. Vibrant red onion rings add a milder, slightly sweet onion flavor with beautiful purple color. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together.
