Directions

1. Place an oven rack about 4 to 5 inches from broiler; preheat broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil; spray a 14-inch pizza pan or rimless cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Toss onion, 1 teaspoon oil and pepper in a medium bowl; spread on prepared foil-lined pan and broil 3 minutes or until onion is slightly charred, stirring once halfway through broiling. Makes about 1/2 cup onion.

2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add luncheon meat; cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Transfer luncheon meat to a paper towel-lined plate. Makes about 1 cup luncheon meat.

3. Whisk pizza sauce, ginger paste and lemongrass paste in a small bowl. Makes about 3/4 cup sauce mixture.

4. Place pizza crust on prepared pizza pan. Leaving 1/2-inch border, spread sauce mixture over crust; top with cheese, luncheon meat, onion, jalapeño and pineapple. Bake pizza 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges of crust are golden brown.

5. Sprinkle pizza with cashews and drizzle with honey; cut into 8 slices and garnish with cilantro, if desired.
