Curry Tomato Sauce:
  • 2 10 oz. bags Village Farms mini San Marzano tomatoes, each tomato cut in half
  • 1/2 onion minced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • 4 tsp. curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Roasted Chickpeas:
  • 1 15.5 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1-2 tsp. fennel seeds depending on how much you like fennel seeds, add more or less
  • A few dashes of paprika just enough to coat 
  • A few dashes of chili powder just enough to coat 
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A drizzle of olive oil
Pizza Toppings:
  • 1/2 red onion roughly chopped
  • 1 red or green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 ear of corn cut off the cob 
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese I like a blend of Parmesan, Asiago, Fontina, and Provolone

Method
 

  1. Begin by roasting the chickpeas. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F. Drain, rinse, and dry the chickpeas. Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper and lay them out in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season gently with salt, pepper, fennel seeds, chili powder, and paprika. Roast for 22-25 minutes. Once the chickpeas are done roasting, let them rest for 15 minutes, this is when they will develop their crunch!
  2. While the chickpeas are roasting, make the tomato sauce. In a medium size sauce pan drizzle olive oil and saute the onion, garlic, and tomatoes on medium-high, stirring until softened, about 15 minutes. Add in the curry powder, cardamom, salt and pepper half-way through. After about 15 minutes, add in 1/4 cup of water and turn off the heat. Blend the sauce with a hand blender until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. Then, pour the sauce into a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Prepare the cauliflower crust according to package instructions.
  4. Set oven temp to broil. Top the pre-cooked crust first with the curry tomato sauce, cheese, and then your desired toppings. Broil for about 5-7 minutes, until you see the toppings have begun to char. Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool, slice, and serve!
