Quinoa Pizzas
1c quinoa
water, for soaking and blending
1-2 cloves of garlic
½tsp sea salt
2tbsp avocado oil
Place quinoa in a medium bowl and cover with water by several inches. Allow to soak for at least 8 hours. After soaked thoroughly, drain water and rinse well. Preheat oven to 450. Add quinoa plus 1/4c water to blender along with garlic and sea salt. Blend until smooth, sometimes more water is needed. Mixture should be consistency of pancake batter. Place a large cast iron skillet into the hot oven. Allow to heat for 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven and add the oil to the skillet and heat for another 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven carefully and use brush to make sure oil is evenly coating pan. Pour the batter into the center of the pan and tilt it to create and even layer on the bottom. Return to oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully flip crust over, bake for additional 10 minutes. When crust is finished, you can save for a later time or immediately use with toppings.
Try with these pizza toppings: spreadable goat cheese, buffalo mozzarella, arugula, kale, roasted butternut squash, thinly sliced lemons, grilled chicken or steak. Enjoy using your creativity!
