Pizza Bianca Enoki

This is the uncooked pizza - when cooked it got eaten too quickly to photo :D

So, vegan pizza, that's a challenge. The key is to make sure the pizza is moist and crunchy at the same time. If you're ever in NYC, don't miss Viva Herbal Pizzeria

Dough
3 dl water
15 g yeast
1 tbsp olive oil
10 g salt
4-500 g flour


Topping
2-3 tbsp pesto
1 large paper thinly sliced potato
rosemary
chives
enoki mushrooms
soy yoghurt
nutritional yeast (optional)

Directions
Mix the ingredients for the dough - knead well and leave to rest for an hour or so.
When ready, prepare the topping. Make sure the potato slices are paper thin.
Roll out the dough thinly and add a thin layer of pesto. If the pesto is thick - add oil to make it more liquid - you want to be able to spread it really thinly.
Place the potato slices making sure they don't overlap too much.
Add another thin layer of pesto and then dress with herbs and mushrooms.
Add nutritional yeast to the yoghurt and sprinkle on top.

Bake at 230 degrees celsius for 20-30ish minutes.

Creamy Pestoish Penne

Great hangover chow.
Serves 1-2.

Ingredients
1 handful of parsley
1 handful of cashew nut
1 dl firm silken tofu
1/2 clove of garlic
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp of water  (e.g. from your boiling pasta)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

1-2 chopped sundried or fresh tomatoes

Directions
Start with oil, nuts and garlic. Blend until coarsely chopped - then add the rest of the ingredients - except tomatoes.

Toss in your favorite penne or other pasta and tomatoes and mix.




Variation
Add more tofu and soaked cashews - or no cashews - great creamy spread for your bagel or sandwich.
