Onion Sauce for Pizza

I came up with this because I needed a pizza sauce base for a child who couldn't have tomatoes, dairy or garlic. You can increase the quantity of the sauce by adding more water.  It could easily cover 2 - 12" pizzas that way.  As is, it can cover a 15" to 18" pizza easily.


Onion Sauce for Pizza


Cook covered over medium heat in a frying pan, stirring occasionally: 


2 medium onions, about 4 cups chopped
2 tablespoons lard or bacon fat (without sugar)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil


Add:


1/2 cup water
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water


Cook the mixture until it is thickened.  Cool it and spread it on your favorite pizza crust.  Here's my recipe if you'd like one without wheat, yeast, eggs, dairy, sugar or soy.
