Instructions

 

Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Line a baking sheet with non-stick parchment and lightly brush with olive oil.
  • Make the flax eggs by combining 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons water. Stir and let sit for 5–10 minutes until gelled.
  • In a blender, combine the cooked black beans, chopped beet, garlic, flax eggs, baking powder, sesame seeds, 2–3 tablespoons water, salt and garlic powder. Blend on high until the mixture starts to come together. Taste and adjust seasoning before thickening.
  • Add the psyllium and blend another 10–15 seconds. Note: the mixture will thicken quickly after psyllium is added, so make sure seasonings are set beforehand.
  • Shape the dough into a round crust on the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or your hands, smoothing the edges as desired.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until the crust is set and crisp at the edges. Remove and let cool slightly before topping.

Purple hummus

  • Combine the chickpeas, toasted sesame seeds, toasted sunflower seeds, toasted pumpkin seeds, chopped red cabbage, roasted beet, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and salt in a high-speed blender. Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Toppings

  • Spread a generous layer of purple hummus over the cooled black bean crust.
  • Arrange toppings such as roasted blue potatoes, sautéed or roasted mushrooms, extra chickpeas, sweetcorn, fresh basil and parsley, shredded red cabbage, and a sprinkle of pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Serve immediately.
