OIL-FREE HEALTHY VEGAN SPINACH, WALNUT, BASIL AND SUN DRIED TOMATO PESTO RECIPE

• 1/2 clove of garlic
• 1 handful of fresh spinach
• 8 walnut halves
• 1 handful fresh basil
• 4 sun dried tomatoes
• 3 tbsp of lemon juice (the more the better)
• salt and pepper to taste

This recipe is simple, delicious and wonderful for you. Take the garlic, spinach, walnuts, basil, tomatoes and stick it all into a food processor. Blend until semi-smooth, now start adding the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Keep tasting as you go along. I love mine very lemony. And voilà, you have yourself a dressing that goes beautifully on pasta, tomato salads or even on toast. You can make a larger batch and keep it stored in the fridge, it should comfortably keep for about a week. Enjoy!

Who has two thumbs and can down a jar of pesto in one sitting? THIS GAL.

Pizza and cartoons make for a great afternoon.

Pizza #1: Canadian bacon, red pepper, pineapple, and jalapeños.
Pizza #2: Spinach, potatoes, and lemon-basil soy curls.

Both on homemade pizza dough!

Killer pizza.

I usually use Vegan Dad’s dough recipe, but this time I used Isa’s. Both are stellar.

The tofu here was marinated overnight in Frank’s redhot, liquid smoke, balsamic vinegar and soy milk.

The sauce is a purée of spinach, cashews, coconut milk, basil, salt/pepper.

Topped with Daiya, mushrooms and artichokes.

unf.

Vegan deep dish I made from scratch, Lou Malnati’s style! I topped it with spinach, mushrooms, garlic basil pesto, artichoke hearts, tofu ricotta, thick tomato sauce and crushed almonds for parmesan. The crust was aaaaalmost spot on to Lou’s and it didn’t collapse under the weight of toppings! The only thing that could’ve made it better would’ve been friends to share it with ):

Okay y’all. You should know that I am a dreadful procrastinator, so sometimes I will do things on Friday that don’t make it onto Tumblr until Monday. Like this pizza. Friday night is pizza night and when I went vegan, it was the first thing I wanted to learn to make. This pizza uses a simple crust, found here:

http://vegweb.com/recipes/easy-yummy-and-quick-pizza-crust

We loaded the pizza up with diced fresh tomato instead of sauce, and then made a delicious soy pepperoni topping for protein and nummy-ness. The recipe came from Celine Steen and Joni Marie Newman’s Hearty Vegan Meals for Monster Appetites. It was fabulous and amazing and because you are fabulous and amazing, here is the recipe:

TVP Pepperoni

Ingredients: 

1/4 tsp fresh group black pepper

1/4 tsp fine sea salt

1 tbsp paprika

1 tbsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (or more if you want)

1 tsp dried basil

1/4 tsp cayenne (or double it for extra spicies!)

1 tsp Sucanat or other sweetener

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp liquid smoke

1 cup TVP granules

1 cup boiling water

Simply mix the dry ingredients, stir in the olive oil and liquid smoke, and pour the TVP on top. Add the boiling water, stir, and cover tightly for 10 minutes. Fluff it with a fork when you are done and you’re good to go! You can save it in the fridge but really why would you do that when you can eat it all? It’s magnificent.

My partner and I also topped the pizza with spinach, olives, and Daiya pepperjack cheese. We ate the whole thing between the two of us because it was just that good. Mmmmmmmmmm.

My wishlist is one vegan cookbook longer. AGAIN.

This luscious green and white dotted Pesto Cashew Ricotta vegan pizza, And not only was this recipe fun to make - pizza always is - it was surprisingly easy once all the prep work was done. Even for a great date night with wife or girlfriend. You can even do the prep the night or day before for a super simple route to deliciousness.

Pesto Cashew Ricotta Pizza
vegan

for the pizza:
1 ball of pizza dough (whole wheat + 1 tsp hemp seeds + 1 tsp ground flax seeds)
1 cup lemon garlic cashew ricotta
1 cup thick vegan pesto
1 large beefsteak or heirloom tomato, thinly sliced
2-3 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
1-3 thin lemon slices, seeds removed
1-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil rubbed on the stretched dough + a dash of garlic powder
spritz of lemon juice over top the assembled pie
red pepper flakes as desired

Lemon Garlic Ricotta
1 1/2 cups soaked and drained raw cashews (soak in salted water overnight)
1 tsp garlic powder
2 cloves of raw garlic
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup water + more as needed
1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
dash of pepper
dash of cayenne
1 tsp mixed dried Italian herbs (optional)
a few dashes of ground flax seeds (optional)
small scoop of nutritional yeast (optional)

Pesto
(use your favorite pesto recipe or the one below)
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup spinach (or another leafy green)
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped with stems
1 cup raw walnuts (or a mix of raw seeds/nuts you may have on hand - pumpkin seeds and pine nuts work well too)
2-3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
a few dashes black pepper
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
water as needed to thin out pesto during blend
optional: 1 small jalapeno, stem removed (for heat)

Pizza Dough
(double recipe for XL pizza - 1 packet makes about M-L sized pizza)
1 yeast packet
1 cup warm water
1 tsp agave syrup
2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or another variety)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp hemp seeds
1 Tbsp ground flax seeds
1/3 cup vital wheat gluten - helps with the chewiness of the crust

Directions:

Prep: soak cashews the night before in salted water - or at least for 4 hours.

1. Start your dough. Swirl the yeast and agave with the warm water. Let yeast sit for about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the flour, vital wheat gluten, salt and oil - add to yeasted water. Gently knead dough into a ball. Place in a floured mixing bowl and let it sit for a while. It will puff up and become “happier” as it sits. If you need to knead a bit more to really mix the dough go for it. Place ball in mixing bowl and let sit for about 45 minutes to 2 hours.

2. While the dough is “growing” you can get started on your pesto and cashew ricotta. I do my ricotta first. Place all ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. You may need to add a bit of water to get the blend moving - depends how “soaked” your cashews are. Salt and spice to taste. You want a light lemony garlic flavor with a hint of spiciness from the raw garlic and cayenne. Transfer ricotta to a bowl and place in fridge.

3. You really don’t even need to clean your blender - the bits of ricotta actually blend well in the pesto. Add add the pesto ingredients to the blender and puree until smooth - yet not too watery. If you end up with water pesto, add in more nuts and/or nutritonal yeast. Dried spices will also thicken things up a bit. Transfer pesto to a bowl and place in fridge.

4. Prep your veggies by slicing shiitakes and tomatoes.

*you can actually do all this prep work the day or night before if you’d like! Then the pizza part will be super easy. You can even place your fresh dough in a plastic baggy and seal it in the fridge for up to one day to use.

Preheat oven to 415-425 degrees

5. Knead dough on a floured surface - you can also use the hemp and flax seeds on the surface so that you get a nice seedy dough - with seeds along the crust and bottom. I like to drag the shaped dough in a pile of hemp seeds and a splash of olive oil. Shape dough into a pizza round and place on a lightly EVOO greased pizza pan.

6. Add a drizzle of EVOO and a light sprinkle of herbs and/or garlic powder.

7. Add the tomato slices.

8. Grab your ricotta and pesto and add dollops of each all over the pizza - alternating so that the pizza looks like a pretty white and green polka dot feast. Make sure you thin out each dollop with the back of a spoon.

9. Add the lemon slices around the edges - these should be removed before eating the pizza - but they add a very nice bright essence to the pizza. Add the shiitakes and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

10. Bake for about ten to fifteen minutes - depending on how thick or thin you rolled your crust. This pizza tastes amazing the next day for leftover too. Even cold!

aaaaand my to-do list just got one pizza longer.
