It’s surprisingly easy to do crazy things with pizza. Granted, I didn’t make my own pizza dough; I bought a pre-made crust from a store. If I had made it myself, I can guarantee that there’d be strange things in the crust itself (maybe olives?), but the toppings are fun, too.
Ingredients:
- 1 pizza crust (make your own if you know how — I imagine it’d be tastier)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Two vine tomatoes
- Feta cheese to taste, crumbled
- Fresh basil leaves to taste
- 1/2 can of chickpeas
- Capers to taste
- Cumin
- Cinnamon
- Cayenne
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and spices to taste. Drizzle most (but not all) evenly over the pizza crust. Add chickpeas to the remaining olive oil and stir until coated. Place basil, tomatoes, chickpeas, and capers on the crust, and sprinkle feta on top. Bake at 400F until the crust and chickpeas are lightly browned.
The chickpeas roll around a bit, so be careful when slicing (and eating) the pizza. It’s tasty and interesting; I’d never had cinnamon on a pizza before. (Or chickpeas, cumin, cayenne, or capers, for that matter.) If I make this again, I’ll probably add garlic.
