Ingredients

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic , crushed

1 prepared plain pizza base

1 large red onion, thinly sliced

2 pears, peeled, cored, cut into thin wedges

4 slices hot pancetta, coarsely chopped

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1.Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a baking tray.

2.In a jug, combine half the oil and garlic. Brush over pizza base. Place on baking tray.

3.Heat remaining oil in a large pan on high. Saute onion for 5-10 minutes, or until tender and starting to caramelise.

4.Spread onion over base. Top with pears and pancetta. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.

5.Meanwhile, simmer balsamic vinegar in a small pan for 10-15 minutes, or until syrupy.
