Instructions
1
Prep
Dice 260g lamb shoulder finely. Mince 2 garlic cloves. Dice 80g red onion finely. Thinly slice 120g red onion. Grate 60g pecorino sardo. Measure wine, passata, water, thyme, salt, pepper. Have 440g pizza dough at room temperature.
2
Sear
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy pan over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add lamb with a pinch of salt, brown 6 minutes until deeply caramelised on most sides, stirring occasionally.
3
Saute
Add diced onion and garlic, lower to medium, cook 4 minutes until onion softens. Pour in white wine, let bubble 2 minutes until almost dry.
4
Simmer
Add tomato passata, half the thyme (1 tsp), and 120ml water. Cover, simmer low 45 minutes until lamb is tender and sauce mounds on a spoon. While lamb simmers, heat 2 tbsp oil in a small pan over medium-low heat. Add sliced onion with salt, cook 12 minutes stirring every few minutes until golden and sweet.
5
Bake
Preheat oven to 250°C with a pizza stone on the middle shelf 20 minutes. Stretch each portion of dough into a 28cm round on a semolina-dusted surface, keeping edges slightly thicker. Transfer to semolina-dusted boards. Spread lamb ragu evenly on each pizza leaving a 2cm rim, scatter caramelised onion and most pecorino. Slide both onto hot stone (or bake in batches if stone is small), bake 8 to 10 minutes until crust is deep golden and blistered.
6
Rest and plate
Rest pizzas on a board 1 minute. Scatter remaining thyme and pecorino over hot surfaces, drizzle with myrtle oil, finish with black pepper, slice, and serve immediately.
