Well actually... colourful, nutritious, quick, easy also all apply!!
PS. This is our 200th post on Kitchen Grrrls! YAY!!!!! Sound the trumpet :)
You can use whatever vegetables you have on had really but I always like some pepper and broccoli on my pizzas, personally.
Instead of using a tomato sauce base we have used mashed up beans as a base. Adds some protein to an otherwise protein-less dinner, more or less.
We like to use the Mozzarella variety of Daiya cheese - just a little sprinkle on top once the rest of the goodies have been added. I appreciate Daiya cheese and it definitely has its place but still we aren't the type to really load on the cheese.
We drizzled on a little Siracha after the pizza had cooked. It adds a little spice and some great flavor.
Oooooo delicious close-up. Look at the veg!!
Bean Pizza BaseIngredients
1 can of beans
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
pepper (as much as you'd like - we like a lot)
Directions
Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Strain and rinse beans. Add beans to pan and saute until browned. Remove pan from heat and place beans in a food processor with the rest of the ingredients.
Schmear onto your crust and add pizza toppings!
Veggies
Onion, sliced thinly
2 peppers, sliced thinly
Broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
For the veggies, we saute the onion and peppers in a separate pan while the beans are cooking. We add the broccoli to the pizza before it goes in the oven.
