Quick Mmm...editerranean Pizza



Okay, it's quick depending on your point of view. I had the crusts prepared ahead of time, so it took about 5 minutes to make once I was ready to eat it. You can keep the crusts in the fridge for a few days (and dehydrate them for 2-4 hours just before you eat them) or keep them in the freezer (thaw then dehydrate, just so they firm up.)


Crust:
1 yellow squash
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup ground flax seeds


Blend all in food processor until smooth. Spread on teflex dehydrator sheet and dry 12 hours. Flip onto mesh screen with wet side up and dehydrate another 8 hours or until crisp.


Rich Cheese Spread:
1/4 cup almond butter
juice of 1/2 lemon
pinch of sea salt
2 teaspoons tahini
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed


Mix all until combined. Check seasoning. (Add a little nutritional yeast for a cheesier flavor; consider some fresh herbs, such as basil, chives, or oregano.)
Spread evenly onto prepared crusts. Top with thinly sliced veggies including:

spinach leaves
cucumber
tomato
fennel
red onion
green olives

Raw, Fresh Greek Pizza


This uses the same crust from "The MAC Pizza."
Herb Crust:
3/4 cup fax seeds, ground

Flip and score with pizza cutter into 6-8 slices of pizza. Dehydrate until mostly dry. These will shrink quite a bit while drying.

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon dried italian seasonings
1 medium yellow squash, roughly chopped
1 cup walnuts, soaked 1 hour and drained
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup onion
2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons agave
juice of one lemon


Process flax. Blend all in Vitamix until smooth(adding a touch of water if needed to turn over.) Spread on Teflex sheet in 1/2 inch thick large circle. Dehydrate for 8 hours. Flip and score with pizza cutter into 6-8 slices of pizza. Dehydrate until mostly dry. These will shrink quite a bit while drying.


Pizza Sauce:

Place all in Vitamix and process until completely smooth. Add reserved soaking liquid if needed to turn over. This will be thick from the tomato pectin. (Stir water/juice in if it seperates while sitting.)

1 cup macadamias
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 Tablespoons onion or shallot
1 garlic clove
2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast

Blend in Vitamix until creamy and smooth. Add water to get to turn over, if necessary.


Assembly:
2 cups fresh spinach chiffonade
1 tomato, diced
1/2 cup pineapple, minced (optional)
