Fig and Arugula Pizza

Good. Differing opinions from the crew.

Here is the recipe:

Pizza dough (use whatever recipe you want, this is what we use)
6 fresh figs cut into 1/4″ slices
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon zested then juiced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 red onion, sliced
3 cups arugula

In a medium skillet over low heat melt 1 T butter then add the onions and cook until onions are caramelized, stirring occasionally. This could take 15-20 minutes.

In a medium saucepan simmer the balsamic vinegar until it reduces by about half then add the sugar and figs. Stir and set aside.

Combine the ricotta, lemon zest and one tablespoon olive oil together in a small bowl and set aside.

To assemble: Spread the ricotta mixture on the crust, add the drained figs, caramelized onions, and gorgonzola cheese.

Bake at 400 for 15 minutes.

Toss the arugula with the other tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

Let pizza cool slightly, top with arugula mixture and serve.
