Lebanese Pizza

After Tex-Mex Bruschetta (Read recipe here) , tried a variation on the pizza to combine Italian with
Lebanese, and this worked too! I soaked the vegetables for the topping in vinegar for an hour , to give them a slightly pickled flavour. A small bit of cheese retains the pizza bit of the taste. Try this at your next dinner party!

Ingredients (for 1 base)

1 pizza base (I used a whole wheat base)
1/2 cup hummus (Read recipe here)
2 tablespoons grated cheese
1 small onion,finely chopped
6-7 pitted olives
1 cup sliced bell peppers
Salt to taste
Few basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon paprika(or chilli flakes)
Olive oil
Vinegar for soaking the vegetables

1. Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees Celcius.
2. Lightly grease both sides of the base .
3. Spread the hummus uniformly over the base. Sprinkle the cheese over the hummus
4. Place the vegetables over the hummus and cheese layer. Top with olives.
5. Finally, sprinkle salt and paprika. Put chopped basil over the vegetables.
6. Before baking, pour about 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the pizza.
7. Bake on the top rack till the base becomes crisp and the vegetables are slightly browned.
