How's A Little Italian-Indian Fusion To Shake Up You're Beloved Pizza, New York...

I love pizza, sometimes.  I'm not talking about the New York vs. The World pizza (yep New York, we all know you and your "pie"s think you are better than everywhere else).  I'm not talking about the thin, flavorless, greasy, hot cardboard that you get post-2am, pre-6am.  I'm not talking about slapping some red sauce and crappy "four cheese" blend onto frozen pre-made dough.  Alright, so I guess I don't really LOVE pizza, but I like it enough... when it's fancy and unique and fun to eat.

And THAT is why we are about to whip up some Naan Pizzas.  Yup, you heard me right... Naan.  Am I be the first to have created the Italian Indian Fusion Cuisine?!  Probably not, but that would be pretty kick ass.  Talking about portion control, these are perfect as personal pizzas.

DISCLAIMER:  THESE WILL LEAVE YOU WANTING MORE EVEN AFTER YOU'RE FULL AND BECAUSE THEY ARE THAT DELICIOUS.  DON'T GIVE IN.  YOU WILL EXPLODE AND DIE.  TRUST ME, YOU WILL.

And for you vegetarians out there (or just for all you fungus lovers), these are quickly and easily converted by replacing the sausage with portabella mushrooms.  Recipe below serves two! Alright let's get to this...

what you need...
2 links Sweet Italian Sausage OR Sliced Portabella Mushrooms
1 Yellow Onion, in slices (NOT chopped)
6 cloves Roasted Garlic 
2 Pieces of Garlic Naan or Original Naan (I use Culinary Circle)
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
4 tbs Fat Free Ricotta Cheese
2 tbs Sugar
1 tbs Butter
6 Sage Leaves
Rosemary
Pepper

how you do it...
1  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Weird, it's like we always seem to be preheating the oven these days... (and yup that's a preheated oven over there in case you were wondering)
2  If you haven't roasted the garlic, I would suggest doing it now.  It takes about 40 minutes to roast a head of garlic.  If you've already forgotten, directions on how to roast garlic can be found here.  If you already have your garlic roasted, ignore step two and skip to step three. 
3  Alright, so here we are with a preheated oven and a head of roasted garlic.  So let's caramelize some onions!  Melt 1 tbs butter in a skillet over medium high heat.  Notice here that we are going to speed caramelize the shit out of these onions because, I don't know about you, but I don't have an hour and a half to sit around and slow cook onions.  When butter is bubbling, add yellow onion and sprinkle with sugar.  Cook over medium heat until onions appear golden brown.  Taste and add more sugar to your desired taste.

NOTE: ONIONS ARE APPARENTLY REAL HARD TO CARAMELIZE.  ASK DAN.  CAREFUL WITH THIS PART, IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT SEEMS... (DON'T SAY I DIDN'T TELL YOU SO).  ALSO, START OVER WHEN YOU SCREW UP, BECAUSE THESE ARE  IMPORTANT TO THE FLAVOR.

4  Okay!  Let's cook some sausage (or portabella mushrooms).  If we're using sausage, slice sausage, and heat in skillet over medium high heat until all sides are crisped and sausage is mostly cooked through.  You don't need oil to cook the sausage, it has plenty of fats and oils that will cook out to keep it from cooking.  *If you are cooking mushrooms, you will need an additional tablespoon of oil.  Cook the mushrooms over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes on each side.  
5  Alright let's put this thing together!  Take your Naans and spread three cloves of roasted garlic over each.  If you want it more garlicy, I'll give you three guesses as to what to do.  Add the caramelized onions, sausage/ mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese to the pizzas.  Add ricotta cheese by spreading out small dollops around each pizza.  season with 3 sage leaves per pizza, rosemary and black pepper.  
6  Cook in oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes (or until the cheese appears melted and the sides of the Naan are beginning to brown).  Switch oven to broil and broil on high for 1-2 minutes or until the ricotta cheese on top begins to brown.  Slice and serve!

Not a great picture but it was too delicious to look at, take pictures of, and not eat...
