vegan food: Chickpea Curry BBQ Pizza
Made some pizza the other night with my wife and I wanted to try something new.
Took a can of chickpeas with the aqua fava and put into a small pot with garlic salt and lots of curry powder. Boiled for 4 minutes, and then simmered on low for 10 minutes or until it is no longer a runny-liquid, but more of a goopy garlic and curry mess.
Next take the pizza crust and apply thick layer of a sweet BBQ sauce evenly across the crust (If you don't consider honey vegan, you might have to make your own, but don't forget to use something with pineapple juice! I like Sweet Baby Rays). Then evenly spoon out the chickpea curry mush across the top of the pizza covered in sweet BBQ sauce.
Fill all the gaps in the chickpeas and curry with some selective spoonfuls of garlic marinara sauce, careful not to add too much and cause sauce to run off the side of the pizza crust. Once gaps are filled, mix it in just a little bit with a spoon to give the pizza an even coating of all the ingredients.
With the gaps filled and sauce spread out evenly, slice red onions into rings, strips, or just dice them. Sprinkle on top so that they settle and sink a bit into the mixture.
Then just into the oven like a normal pizza and serve while still hot! Vegan BBQ curry pizza. The BBQ and Curry flavors work way better together than you would think, and the mushy boiled and then oven roasted chickpea layer gives the pizza more of a "body" that other vegan pizzas tend to lack, where they resemble something more like flatbread. Very filling with lots of protein.
