Instructions
In a large skillet over med-low heat caramelize the onion and garlic in a generous amount of olive oil until a dark golden brown, about 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, toss the potato slices with olive oil and the fresh herbs. Spread out on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in a 450°F oven until just cooked, about 10 minutes.
Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the artichoke hearts and sundried tomatoes. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
Increase the oven temperature to 500°F. Place a rack in the center. Spread the onion mixture all over your prebaked pizza crust, leaving about 1” from the edge.
Evenly sprinkle half of the pecorino cheese over the onion mixture. Place the potato rounds, in a single layer, around the pizza. Distribute the asparagus and smoked oysters. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese evenly.
Drizzle the pizza very lightly all over with the reserved liquid from the smoked oysters then very lightly with olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the edges of the crust are very brown and the cheese is golden.
