Venison, blue cheese and walnut pizza

This is my simple, go to, easy but OH SO GOOD recipe. Great for a lazy night in, or with friends and a glass of red wine -

Ingredients

1	Pizza base, bought or home made
1 packet	Venison medallions (Main)
50 g	Walnuts
2 Tbsp	Extra virgin olive oil
1	Red onion, sliced
1 tsp	Brown sugar, I used the Chelsea variety
2 Tbsp	Tomato paste
60 g	Blue cheese
2 Tbsp	Fresh thyme, to serve

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (or follow instructions if using store bought pizza base).
2. Heat a frying pan and lightly toast walnuts, then chop into pieces for sprinkling on top of the pizza. Using the same frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and slowly sauté onion until soft, add brown sugar and continue to cook for approximately 3-5 minutes to continue caramelisation. Set aside.
3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and cook the Silver Fern Farms Venison Medallions for 1-2 minutes on either side, don't over cook it as it will continue to cook in the oven. Cut into slices across the grain of the meat.
4. Top the pizza base with tomato paste, caramelised onions, slices of Silver Fern Farms Venison Medallions, blue cheese and walnuts.
5. Place in the hot oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese has melted and the base has crisped up. Serve with fresh thyme and a side salad.
