Raw Drunk Food - Pesto Parmesan Pizza with Red Wine Hydrated Sundried Tomatoes and Mushrooms




This pizza is also delicious sober!


What you'll need:

Crust:
4 med zucchini
1/2 C flax meal
2 T packed fresh rosemary leaves
1 t dried greek oregano
1/2 t pink salt

Toppings
1/4 C Raw Vegan Basil Pesto
1/2 C Creamy Cashew Parmes-almost
1/4 C dried mushrooms, julienned
1/3 C sundried tomatoes, julienned
1/4 C red wine (probably from a box if you're an old wino like me)
1/4 C pitted olives, cut in half



  1. grate zucchini in your food processor with the grater attachment
  2. squeeze out excess water from zucchini pulp (alternatively you could juice the whole zucchinis and reserve the pulp, you basically just want really dry zucchini bits so you're crust isn't drying for the rest of your life)
  3. blend squeezed zucchini pulp with remainder of ingredients until smooth
  4. spread into a thin layer onto a parchment lined dehydrator tray
  5. dry at ~55 C for about 3 hours, flipping about half way through, the dryer the crust the better, you're crust should turn out a dark browny-green colour
  6. place dried mushrooms and tomatoes in a jar with the wine and cover, shaking periodically and letting hydrate until wine has absorbed, about 30-45 minutes
  7. spread the pesto onto the dried crust, leaving a little space around the edge for the 'handle'
  8. distribute the hydrated mushrooms, tomatoes and olive halves evenly over the pesto
  9. drop dollops of parmes-almost randomly around the pizza
  10. dehydrate and 41 C for about 2 hours until nice and warm and the tomatoes are almost dry again
  11. enjoy some more of your box wine and go dancing, knowing that you have delicious warm pizza awaiting you
