Ingredients
- 1 Ball of pizza dough
- 1/2 C Walnuts
- 1 C Sliced Mushrooms (50g)
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 Onion, diced fine
- 1 Clove of garlic, minced
- 1 Medium tomato, de-seeded and chopped fine
- 1 Tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Allspice
- Pinch of chili flakes
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Handful of fresh mint, finely chopped
To serve- any number of the following:
- Lemon wedges
- Red Onion, sliced
- Fresh parsley, mint & shredded romaine lettuce
- Sumac
- Tahini Sauce (tahini mixed with lemon & water)
Description
- In a food processor, pulse the mushrooms and walnuts until coarsely chopped and well combined. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 225C/450F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat, add the onion and sauté until translucent (5-7 minutes).
- Add the garlic, tomato, tomato paste, spices and salt and cook for a further couple of minutes. Add the mushroom walnut mixture and stir to coat in the spice mixture. It might look dry at this stage but the mushrooms will release some moisture as they cook. Cook for approx. 10 minutes, stirring every now and again, until the tomato is cooked down and you have a thick, slightly saucy mixture. Stir through the chopped herbs and set aside.
- Roll out your pizza dough to a thin oval shape, top with the spiced "meat", spreading it evenly but not too thick or your dough will get soggy. You might not need it all.
- Transfer to a lined baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes until the dough is cooked through and crisp.
- Serve topped with any number of the following: fresh herbs, red onion, tahini sauce, a sprinkle of sumac and with a squeeze of lemon juice.
