Ingredients
  1. 2 tablespoons butter
  2. 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
  3. 4 cups chopped fresh collard greens
  4. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  5. ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  7. 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
  8. 1 (1-pound) package refrigerated deli pizza dough
  9. 2 (8-ounce) packages shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  10. 1 pound chopped smoked pork
  11. ½ cup vinegar-based barbecue sauce
  12. 1 tomato, thinly sliced
  13. 1 (6-ounce) package shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450°.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and collard greens; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes or until greens are tender. Stir in vinegar and red pepper; cook for 1 minute.
  3. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, brush oil over bottom of pan; sprinkle with cornmeal.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough to a 16-inch circle. Place dough in prepared pan, letting excess dough hang over sides of pan.
  5. Spread collard greens mixture over dough. Sprinkle with 1 package shredded mozzarella.
  6. In a medium bowl, stir together pork and barbecue sauce; spoon over mozzarella. Arrange tomato slices over pork; sprinkle with remaining package of mozzarella and Parmesan. Fold excess dough over around inside of pan to create a crust.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
  1. Using a vinegar-based barbecue sauce helps cut through the richness of the pork and cheese.
