Garden Pizza

We have a bounty of vegetables from our garden right now, great onions, tomatoes and lots of zucchini. We were hungry for a pizza so why not just use some of these awesome vegetables and create a pizza. The caramelized onions with seasoned zucchini and tomatoes make this a very flavorful pizza that we just love and will be making over and over. Take a look at that really used and well seasoned pizza stone, we have made lots of pizza on that stone.

1/4 cup cornmeal

4 medium zucchini, sliced
2 large onions, sliced
3 cups mini cherry tomatoes, whole
2 cups Kalamata Olives, pitted and chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil

Brush pan with oil cover with cornmeal. Press dough down on the Pizza Stone or Pizza Pan.
Topping
Slice the zucchini and lay them out on a paper towel. Sprinkle a little salt on top that will help draw the moisture out of the zucchini. Let them set for 20 minutes, then take a paper towel and dry them. Put them into a large bowl and over with the olive oil and a little more salt.
In a hot skillet heat the butter and begin to cook the onions and garlic on a medium low heat. Let the onions cook until they caramelize, be sure and stir them so they won't burn.
