Caramelised Onion Pizza

Servings: 1

Ingredients

For the pizza dough

For the topping

30 gm shredded mozzarella
15 gm eggplant, sliced
30 gm mushrooms, sliced
30 gm cherry tomatoes, halved
30 gm onion, chopped
30 gm walnuts, chopped
Spices and seasoning, to taste (like chilly flakes, oregano very sparingly, thyme very sparingly, rosemary very sparingly, Tabasco)
Baking paper
Extra virgin olive oil, for greasing baking paper and to drizzle
Basil leaves, for garnish

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
In a large bowl, mix the chickpea flour, water, salt together.
Grease a sheet of baking paper with olive oil and place on an upturned baking tray.
With a spoon, spread the chickpea batter evenly on the baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, monitoring the heat constantly.
In a heavy-bottomed frying pan, saute the onions over low heat until caramelised.
Take off heat and set aside.
Take the pizza base out from the oven and turn over.
Spread on the flipped base, the eggplant, followed by the caramelised onions, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, chopped walnuts.
Scatter the cheese over the vegetables, drizzle olive oil and season.
Bake until the edges are toasted nicely.
Garnish with basil leaves and serve hot.

Note: Substitute the mozzarella with vegan or cashew cheese, available online, if vegan.

Opt to add slices of salami along with the vegetables for additional taste if a touch of meat is required.
