Brussels Sprouts White Pizza
Jeanine Donofrio's recipe for a simple and versatile vegan white pizza topped with cashew cream and seasonal vegetables.
Basic Cashew Cream
- 1 cup raw cashews
- ½ cup water
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ tsp sea salt
Pizza
- 450 g pizza dough store-bought or homemade (at room temperature)
- extra-virgin olive oil for brushing
- 1 cup Basic Cashew Cream divided (see note)
- 1½ cups thinly sliced Brussels sprouts
- ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
- hot pepper flakes for seasoning
- ⅓ cup fresh basil leaves large ones torn
Pizza
Preheat oven to 500°F.
Stretch dough on 14-inch pizza pan and brush edges with olive oil. Thinly spread a heaping 1⁄3 cup of the cashew cream on dough, leaving a border. Top with Brussels sprouts, red onion and hot pepper flakes.
Cook in centre of oven until crust is evenly browned on the bottom, about 11 to 15 minutes.
Scrape remaining cashew cream into small bowl and stir in water, 1 tbsp at a time, until it’s a drizzleable consistency. Spoon over pizza and top with basil.
