White Pizza with Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onions

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for oiling the pan
• 2 large onions, quartered and thinly sliced
• 3 to 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1 portobello mushroom, stemmed and thinly sliced, optional
• 1 large sweet potato
• One 12.3-ounce package firm silken tofu
• 1 teaspoon salt
• One 12-to 14-inch good-quality pizza crust
• Dried basil

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. Lightly oil a small baking pan.
3. Heat the oil in a medium skillet.
4. Add the onions and saute over medium-low heat until limp.
5. Add the garlic and continue to saute until the onion is deep golden, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
6. If using the portobello, add it after about 10 minutes, continuing to saute until the slices are softened and the onions golden, stirring occasionally.
7. While the onions are cooking, peel the sweet potato, quarter it lengthwise, and slice it 1/4 inch thick.
8. Place the slices in the prepared pan in a single layer.
9. Bake until just tender and lightly roasted, about 15 minutes.
10. Stir every 5 minutes or so.
11. Puree the tofu with the salt in a food processor or with an immersion blender in its container.
12. Place the crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
13. Spread the pureed tofu evenly over the crust with a baking spatula.
14. When the onion mixture is done, spread it evenly over the pureed tofu.
15. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
16. Scatter the roasted sweet potato pieces over the surface of the pizza.
17. Cut into 6 slices and serve.
18. To keep the meal really simple, choose one of the green salads suggested under Recipe Not Required (page 192).
