Shopping List

For the Pizza
- 1 fresh or frozen pizza or flatbread of choice (Note 1)
- 1/2 large eggplant
- 2 slow-roasted roma tomatoes (or 1 handful cherry tomatoes, halved)
- 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 handful arugula
- 1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon EACH salt and pepper For the Curry Vinaigrette
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Dice the unpeeled eggplant into 1-inch pieces. Toss the eggplant with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Spread the eggplant pieces over the parchment and roast for 30 minutes. Flip the eggplant over halfway through roasting.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, stir together the Curry Vinaigrette ingredients in a small jar and set it aside.
- Step 4: If pre-baking the crust is required before adding the toppings, do so now. After pre-baking, adjust the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 5: While the flatbread pre-bakes, dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss the roasted eggplant and the tomatoes in a bowl with a drizzle of the Curry Vinaigrette until the vegetables are lightly coated. Set aside.
- Step 6: Spread a thin layer of the hummus over the crust. Scatter the curry-tossed tomatoes and eggplants over the hummus and then top with dollops of the feta. The exact amounts of ingredients will vary depending on the size of your crust.
- Step 7: Bake the pizza for 6 to 8 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit, or until the toppings are hot and the pizza is crisp. A pizza stone or pan will yield the crispiest crust results.
- Serve: Toss the arugula with some of the Curry Vinaigrette. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the dressed arugula. Drizzle a little more curry vinaigrette over everything and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: This would also be delicious using 2 pieces of naan bread. To make the naan 'pizza', pre-bake the naan at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the indicated toppings and bake again for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the naan is crisp.
