Pork, sage and onion pizza with spiced apple sauce

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Step 2

Place onion on a baking tray, drizzle with vinegar and 1 tablespoon oil, then season. Bake for 30 minutes or until caramelised.

Step 3

Increase the oven to 200°C and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

Step 4

Place the apple in a saucepan over low heat with fennel, cumin, dried sage and 1 1/2 cups (375ml) water. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until the apples are soft and the liquid has almost completely reduced. Break up apples with a potato masher to form a coarse sauce, then add cream and lemon juice, season and stir to combine. Set aside.

Step 5

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a frypan over medium heat. Add the pork and cook, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, for 6-8 minutes until browned.

Step 6

Spread half the apple sauce over 1 Lebanese bread, then top with half the pork, onion and pine nuts. Season. Repeat with remaining Lebanese bread and toppings. Place on prepared trays and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Top with the fried sage leaves, if using, slice and serve immediately.
