Lavash Pizza With Onions and Anchovies
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound onions (2 medium onions), cut in half and sliced very thin across the grain
- Salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 1/2 teaspoons capers, drained, rinsed and finely chopped or pureed in a mortar and pestle
- 1 9-by-12-inch lavash
- 6 anchovy fillets, soaked in water for five minutes, drained, rinsed and dried on paper towels
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions.
- Cook, stirring, until they begin to sizzle and soften, about three minutes.
- Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic, bay leaf, thyme and pepper.
- Stir everything together, turn the heat to low, cover and cook slowly for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring often.
- The onions should melt down to a thick, golden brown, almost jammy consistency.
- Stir in the capers, and taste and adjust seasonings.
- If there is liquid in the pan, cook over medium heat, uncovered, until it evaporates.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees, preferably with a baking stone in it.
- Place the lavash on a baking sheet.
- Spread the onions over the lavash in a thin, even layer.
- Cut the anchovies in half and arrange in Xs on top of the onions.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the onions, and place the pizza in the oven.
- Bake 15 minutes until the edges of the crust are crisp and brown.
- Remove from the heat.
- Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
