How to Make Chorizo Mushroom And Onion Pizza
- **Prepare the Chorizo Topping:** In a large skillet, crumble 8 ounces of chorizo sausage and cook over medium heat until browned and crispy. About 8-10 minutes. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- **Sauté Onions and Mushrooms:** Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms. Sauté until softened and lightly golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. If needed, add a little more olive oil.
- **Combine Toppings:** Stir in the cooked chorizo back into the skillet with the onions and mushrooms. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- **Prepare the Pizza Crust:** Use your favorite pizza dough (store-bought, homemade, or from a local pizza place). Follow the package directions for preparing the crust. Roll out to your desired thickness and shape.
- **Prepare the Garlic Herb Oil:** In a small bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- **Grill the Crust:** Preheat your grill to medium heat. Brush one side of the pizza crust with the garlic herb oil. Place the crust directly on the grill grates and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. (Consider placing a sheet of foil under the crust to prevent burning for the first few minutes.)
- **Top and Finish:** Remove the pizza from the grill. Top evenly with the chorizo, mushroom, and onion mixture. Sprinkle generously with 1 ½ cups of your favorite shredded cheese (mozzarella, provolone, etc.).
- **Grill to Melt Cheese:** Return the pizza to the grill and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (Maintain foil if needed.)
- **Serve:** Remove from grill and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
