Pizza with ham, chili pepper and onion

4 servings

20 minutes

Pizza with ham, chili pepper, and onion is a harmony of flavors that combines Italian culinary traditions with spicy notes. It was born from the Italians' passion for fresh and rich ingredients, where the crispy dough serves as the perfect backdrop for aromatic toppings. Sweet caramelized onion, sautéed to softness, balances the heat of red chili, while thin slices of prosciutto add a delicate saltiness. The ensemble is completed by tender Grana Padano cheese smoothly covering the pizza's surface and giving it an appetizing stretchiness. This pizza is a choice for connoisseurs of contrasting flavor combinations; it is perfect for a warm evening with friends or as a bright accent at a romantic dinner. Enjoy every bite and discover the richness of Mediterranean gastronomy!
