Couscous & Chickpea Pizza
Have you had chickpea pizza? No? Well, you should. There’s a recipe in Madhur Jaffrey’s World Vegetarian for chickpea pizza, which is made with chickpea flour, salt, and water. It’s cooked on the stove top and then broiled, and produces an amazing thin pizza which would be delicious without any toppings whatsoever. Tonight’s version was topped with sun-dried tomatoes and some of Dr. Apricot’s special seitan sausage. Holy cow was it good.
To go with the pizza I whipped up some whole wheat couscous (seriously, this is the easiest thing in the world to cook!) and stirred in some tomato, basil, mint, cilantro, and lemon juice. A bit of salt and pepper and the result is a plate full of deliciousness.


Yum! Is it kinda just like a thick chickpea pancake?

This looks amazing! I’ve made the chickpea pizza from the Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook. I liked it a lot.

Highly recommended Mo. It’s also remarkably healthy thanks to the chickpea goodness.
