Aged Cheddar Bites with Spiced Ketchup

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
• Kosher salt
• 1/2 pound extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 pound pizza dough, divided into 16 balls
• Vegetable oil, for frying

1. In a small skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil.
2. Add the onion and cook over moderately low heat until caramelized, 15 minutes.
3. Scrape into a bowl and let cool.
4. In a small bowl, whisk the ketchup with the ginger, curry powder, soy sauce, garlic and the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil; season with salt.
5. Scrape half of the spiced ketchup into the bowl with the onion; stir in the cheese.
6. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough balls into 3-inch rounds.
7. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling onto the center of each round.
8. Bring up the dough around the filling and press to seal in the cheese.
9. In a large saucepan, heat 1 inch of oil to 325.
10. Fry the cheese bites in batches, turning occasionally, until golden and puffed, about 5 minutes.
11. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bites to a paper towellined plate to drain.
12. Serve right away, with the remaining spiced ketchup for dipping.
