Going Nuts For Pizza

Posted Feb 13 2012 7:43pm 1 Comment
Nuts, Raisin & Fig Crust Chicken Pizza
I've been experimenting with nuts lately, and I decided to make my self a pizza. I wanted all the nutrients I can get in my veggies, so I kept them away from heat. Hence my partially raw pizza. I ended up only cooking the chicken, and the crust for as little I can, just to crisp it up.My measurements were rough, so there is no exact recipe. But anything goes!
     
    
Nut Crust  
3 Tbsp Raw Almonds
3 Tbsp Raw Walnuts
2 Tbsp Raw Pistachio
2 Tbsp Shredded Coconut 1 Tbsp Flax Seed1 tsp Kalunji (Nigella)
3 tsp Pinenuts
2 Tbsp Raw Sesame Seeds
2 Tbsp Zaatar Mix
2 tsp Turmeric
2 tsp Sultana Raisins
2 Tbsp Dried Figs
2 Cloves Garlic
1 Egg
(extra ground nuts or flour to fix dough consistency)                     
Kneaded Dough
  • Grind & Mix together all Nuts, Fruit & Spicing Ingredients
  • Add Egg & knead dough until you get a play-dough consistency
  • More ground nuts or flour can be added to reach desired consistency
  • Pre-heat Oven at 350°
  • Oil your tray or baking dish
  • Press dough to form ½ cm pizza crust
  • Bake for 15 min or until slightly golden
On the side I had prepared the Pizza Sauce1 small Tomato½ Onion3 cloves Garlic2 tsp Tomato paste2 tsp roasted Chilli peppers½ tsp Oregano½ tsp Basil¼ tsp Black pepperpinch of salt
I used some of the pizza sauce to flavor my chicken, but the remainder of the sauce was used as a raw sauce. While cooking the crust, I added some cheese. Then topped it with my pizza sauce flavored chicken bits.
To treat my self I made some caramelized onions. But fresh is better. If I had green onions I would have used that instead. Caramelized Onions1 small Onion2 Tbsp Sugar¼ cup Water
- Boil water - Melt Sugar - Add sliced Onions - 
Stir until water evaporates & sugar starts browning
Over the chicken bits, I added the sauce, and then the caramelized onions. Now to choose my Toppings.Red peppersRaddichioAvocadoBlack OlivesLettuce The amount is up to you. Add more or less of what you like and dislike.
Tasted wonderful, and I loved the colors.
