Finally, Veganuary is underway and I am more than happy to see how many people are now choosing a vegan diet. What was the preserve of a small niche 5 years ago is now a movement to be reckoned with. Out of the corner, into the mainstream, my dears. Personally, it makes me happy because I know how much good you can do with a vegan diet. And I’m not just talking about the millions of animals that we literally save the lives of. It is also the benefits that accrue to ourselves. More fiber, less animal cholesterol and saturated fat and more pleasure at the same time ? Yes, it’s possible! You should have some patience and check your old beliefs.

Vegan nutrition, can that taste at all? Yes, it can and that’s exactly what we prove once again today with this delicious pizza. Fine spelt yeast dough topped with chickpeas marinated Ethiopian. Tomato sauce, sliced tomatoes and onion round out the flavor. Cheese? Wrong, because we make a wonderful, healthy and delicious tahini dressing, which we drizzle over the pizza at the end and the moment of pleasure is ready.

The dough is a mixture of water, yeast, raw cane sugar, salt and fine spelt flour. An absolute basic recipe for many different pizza variations. For example, I’m thinking of my tandoori pizza, plain vegan pizza, or pizza mozzarella.

Maybe you’re still wondering what a berbere spice blend actually is and how you can make it yourself. Berbere spice is a spicy Ethiopian blend that brings the exotic scent of African cuisine to your home. Originally, the spice blend is popular for seasoning spicy and hearty meat dishes. We simply marinate our chickpeas with it, the legumes are also gladly called “the chicken” of the vegans.

What do I use for the berbere spice mix?

  • Coriander
  • Sweet bell pepper
  • Paprika smoked
  • Cumin
  • Mustard seed or fenugreek
  • Cardamom
  • Cinnamon, cayenne pepper, ginger

Please note that this is only a guideline, as there is no set, uniform recipe for this spice blend. It varies from place to place and offers room for your individual preferences. Feel free to try yourself out here.

Anleitung
 

  • FOR THE BERBERE CHICKPEAS Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until the chickpeas are well combined with all other ingredients. Cover and set aside.
    265 g Chickpeas drained and patted dry*., ½ tbspn Coriander, 1 tbspn Sweet bell pepper, ½ tbspn Paprika smoked, ½ tbspn Cumin, ¼ tbspn Cardamom, ¼ tbspn Mustard seed, ½ tbspn Cinnamon, 1/8 tbspn Clove powder, ¼ tbspn Cayenne pepper or 1 Bird Eye Chili, 15 ml Olive oil
  • For the dough first put the wet ingredients, then the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix with a food processor (kneading chopper) or with your hands for about 3-4 minutes until a smooth dough. If the dough is too dry, carefully add a little more water. If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour. Briefly remove dough from bowl, flour bottom of bowl (so dough does not stick).
    240 g Spelt flour, ½ tbspn Salt, 1 tbspn Dry yeast, 200 ml lukewarm water, 1 tbspn Raw cane sugar
  • Cover (I use a tea towel and a lid) and place in a warm, but not too hot, place where there are no drafts. The dough should still be able to breathe (do not cover too tightly), as the yeast needs heat and oxygen to rise. Let rise for 1 hour.
  • At the end of the baking time, preheat the oven to 190 degrees (top and bottom heat) and line a baking tray with wrapping paper.
  • TANDOORI: Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead again with your hands. Roll out with a pastry roller to a round (about 30 centimeters in diameter) dough. Spread evenly with tomato sauce, then top with tomato slices, chickpeas and onion.
    150 g Tomato sauce or passata, 1 Piece red onion, 2 Piece Tomatoes
  • Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until pizza is nice and golden brown around the edges.
