Chickpea Pizza

with figs, chèvre and kale

2 pizzas | preparation time approx. 60 min

Chickpea flour is a very protein-rich flour that also keeps you full for longer. Here we've made pizza with chickpea flour and topped it with a fresh tomato sauce, a bit of kale, figs and chèvre. Of course, you can fill your pizza with whatever you like.

Pizza base

  • 200 g (4 dl) da Carla organic
  • Chickpea flour
  • 150 g (1½ dl) water
  • 1 msk olive oil
  • 2 tsk dried oregano

Fresh tomato sauce

  • 1 large ripe tomato
  • ¼ clove of garlic
  • ½ tsk dried oregano
  • 1 tsk olive oil
  • 1 krm salt

Topping

  • 1 stalk of kale
  • 2 fresh figs
  • 100 g chèvre
  • ½ dl almonds
  • Black pepper
  • Olive oil

Here's how

  • Heat the oven to 200 °C
  • Mix all the ingredients for the pizza base into a loose batter. Divide the batter into two equal parts and spread out into two pizzas about 15–20 cm in diameter and 3 mm thick. It's a good idea to use a spatula dipped in a little water, which makes it easier to spread the batter.
  • Bake the pizza bases in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes. Take out the pizzas and raise the temperature to 225 °C.
  • Rinse and cut the tomato into pieces, grate the garlic and blend everything together into a smooth sauce along with olive oil, oregano and salt. Spread the tomato sauce over the pizza bases.
  • Rinse the kale and tear it into pieces away from the thick centre stalk. Massage the kale with a little olive oil and place it on the pizzas. Slice the chèvre and place it on the pizzas.
  • Bake the pizzas in the middle of the oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese starts to melt and the kale gets a nice colour.
  • Rinse and cut the figs into pieces and scatter over the pizzas.
  • Toast the almonds in a dry frying pan until golden. Roughly chop the almonds and sprinkle over the pizzas.
  • Sprinkle over a little freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil, then serve warm.
