Smoke Craft Boerewors Braai Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 large pizza base or 500 g pizza dough
• 400 g boerewors
• 1½ tsp BlixSam Nou Braai
• 1½ cups grated mozzarella
• ½ cup grated cheddar
• ½ red pepper, thinly sliced, optional
• Fresh parsley or spring onion, for finishing

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

• ½ cup BlixSam Smoke Craft Sauce
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. Braai the boerewors: Braai the boerewors over medium-hot coals until cooked and nicely charred. Allow to rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite-sized rounds.
2. Caramelise the onions: Melt the butter in a pan. Add the onions and cook slowly until soft and golden. Add the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar and cook until dark, glossy and sticky.
3. Prepare the smoky base: Mix the Smoke Craft Sauce, tomato paste and olive oil.
4. Build the pizza: Stretch the dough into a large pizza. Spread generously with the Smoke Craft mixture, leaving a small border around the edge.
5. Add the toppings: Scatter over half the mozzarella, followed by the sliced boerewors, caramelised onions and red pepper. Sprinkle evenly with Nou Braai.
6. Add the cheese: Finish with the remaining mozzarella and cheddar.
7. Braai: Cook in a covered braai or pizza oven at approximately 220–250°C until the base is crisp and the cheese is melted, bubbling and developing golden spots.
8. Finish: Drizzle a little extra Smoke Craft Sauce over the hot pizza and scatter with parsley or spring onion. Slice and serve immediately.
