Pulled Pork and Caramelized Onion Pizza
Pulled Pork is smoky where caramelized onion is rich, and a shared savory and sweet streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Tender, slow-smoked pulled pork brings barbecue-inspired richness and deep smoky sweetness 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.
