Mediterranean Pizza Serves: 4
Ingredients:
1-2 tbsp
4 cup
2 tsp
1 lb
4
organic cornmeal, for the baking sheet
(packed) shredded spinach
(about 5 ounces)
extra-virgin olive oil
Whole-wheat flour, for work surface
whole-wheat pizza dough,
thawed if frozen
plum tomatoes
1 tbsp
½
/3 cup
¼ cup
1
½ tsp
coarsely chopped fresh basil,
marjoram or oregano leaves
small red onion, thinly sliced
crumbled vegan feta cheese
pitted Kalamata olives,
coarsely chopped
ground black pepper
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spread the cornmeal on a large baking sheet; alternatively, rub a large baking sheet with
oil. Place the spinach with the rinse water still clinging to the leaves in a microwave-safe bowl with a lid. If the leaves are
completely dry, add a teaspoon of water. Cover and microwave on high until the spinach is bright green and wilted,
about 1 minute. Transfer to a strainer and rinse with cold water. When cool enough to handle, wrap the leaves in a
clean kitchen towel and squeeze out all of the excess liquid. Remove the spinach from the towel, using your fingers to
loosen and separate the leaves. Set aside.
On a lightly floured work surface, use a rolling pin and your hands to roll and stretch the dough to a roughly 10- by-14
inch rectangle; if the dough becomes so elastic that after it is rolled it just snaps back, contracting to its original size, let
it rest a few minutes before continuing to roll. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the dough with 1
teaspoon of the olive oil. Arrange the tomatoes on the dough and sprinkle the marjoram, basil and/or oregano over the
tomatoes. Spread the spinach on top, followed by the red onion, feta, olives, and black pepper. Drizzle the remaining 2
teaspoons olive oil over the pie. Bake until the crust is golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

large cloves garlic, cut into thin slivers
fresh green Serrano chiles, stemmed
and thinly sliced crosswise (do not seed)
cornstarch
finely chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
long thin slices fresh ginger,
cut into matchsticks
Juice from a medium lime
Directions:
Place potatoes in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Place split peas in a large saucepan. Fill the pan halfway
with water and rinse the peas by rubbing them between your fingers. Drain. Repeat three or four times, until the water
remains relatively clear; drain. Add 4 cups water to the split peas and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim off
any foam that rises to the surface. Drain the potatoes and add to the peas. Return to a boil, reduce heat to medium
and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in cauliflower, green beans, eggplant, carrot, salt and turmeric. Return to a
boil; cover, reduce to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are fork-tender and the peas
are soft but firm-looking, 7 to 10 minutes more.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle and smell
fragrant, 15 to 20 seconds. Stir in garlic and chiles to taste and cook, stirring, until the garlic is light brown and the chiles
are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir the garlic-chile mixture into the cooked vegetables. Scoop
a ladleful of cooking water from the saucepan to the skillet; swish it around and pour the “washings” back into the
saucepan. Whisk cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of the cooking liquid in a small bowl until smooth. Stir it into the stew
along with cilantro and ginger. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer the curry, uncovered, stirring occasionally,
until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in lime juice.
