A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of going on a media trip to Vidalia, Georgia. Being a Georgia Peach myself I was naturally over the moon excited about seeing these sweet spheres in their natural habitat. One of the things I love about my job is visiting farms.

Getting to know the actual farmers and seeing how much love and attention goes into growing, harvesting and packaging the food that ends up in our grocery bags and on our kitchen tables or breakfast bar because yeah sometimes the table is covered in photography equipment. It happens.

Vidalia Onions are only available for a short time during the year and that time is NOW. Next time you’re in your favorite grocery, grab a bag (or two) and take them home. You might even want to try this pretty spectacular pizza with caramelized Vidalia onion and fig preserves as its base. Yep Yep. That alone would make an amazing appetizer but we didn’t want to stop there we wanted pizza and pressed on.

Adding a combination of mozzarella, burrata (my cheese kryptonite I can’t resist it even if I tried which is futile so I don’t) and then adding our salty element of prosciutto and peppery arugula. It’s a pretty ridiculous flavor combination that explodes in your mouth.

    I love Vidalia onions and eat them almost every day. In fact, I think I could eat one like an apple 🙂 My favorite way to eat them is in a salad with cucumbers and tomatoes and a vinegar dressing. I eat it at least a couple times a week!

    I am not sure what I love most about this recipe. Is it because it is pizza, or that you used burrata or the caramelized onions. Let’s be honest … LOVE it all!

  111. Vickie says

    Well..I LOVE them any ole way..mostly raw on burgers and in salad…they are so sweet..my Georgia momma eats them on white bread with butter. I like to grill them in thick slices with zucchini, tomatoes, squash, mushrooms and asparagus and garlic cloves..with olive oil and sea salt..a nice medley of healthy, delicious vegetables.

    We make our own vegetable and chicken broths, and when cooking, sauteing, caramelizing onions, we cook them slow and low adding a little broth at a time, cook it down, then add more until we’re pleased, and/or starving and can’t take much more teasing! lol
