Sweet balsamic glaze, a medley of cheeses, arugula, and caramelized onion come together in a pulled-pork pizza made for barbecue lovers. Smoked BBQ Rub adds a delicious smoky flavor, while Greek Seasoning provides a crispy seasoned crust.
Ingredients
-
1 oz. Smoked BBQ Rub or Backwoods Hickory Rub
- 4 lb boneless pork roast (Boston butt or picnic)
- BBQ sauce, to taste
-
2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (12-inch) or 1 pre-made bakery dough (12-inch)
- Corn meal (for sprinkling pizza pan)
- Goat cheese, to taste
-
1 Tbsp. Greek Seasoning
- Arugula, to taste
- Grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, to taste
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Directions
- RUB pork roast liberally with seasoning and place in a large roasting pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- REMOVE pork from refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Preheat oven to 300°F. Add about 1/3 cup water to the pan, cover with foil, and roast for approximately five hours, until meat thermometer reads 180°F. Baste with pan liquids several times during the cooking process. Remove from oven and using two forks, pull pork when cool, moistening with BBQ sauce to taste.
- REMOVE pizza dough from refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Preheat oven to 400°F (450°F if using bakery dough).
- ADD Extra Virgin Olive Oil to a skillet. Saute onions over medium heat until caramelized. Remove from heat.
- SPRINKLE a pizza pan with corn meal to prevent sticking and then spread pizza dough. Follow with a thin layer of BBQ sauce, pulled pork, caramelized onions, and goat cheese. Bake 11-13 mins. (crust will be slightly golden).
- SLICE and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving. *Recipe yields extra pulled pork which makes great pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, or even additional pizzas!
- REMOVE from oven. Brush BBQ sauce over the crust and sprinkle with Greek Seasoning. Add arugula and (Parmesan or Romano) cheese, to taste. Bake 3 additional mins., or until arugula is soft and cheese is melted.
