Greek Quinoa Pizza Crust
1/2 cup quinoa
2-1/2 cups water, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil or no-stick spray
1/2 teaspoon Greek seasoning
Suggested Toppings: a touch of olive oil, grilled chicken/salmon, diced red onion, chopped fresh basil, calamata olives, a sprinkle of Gorgonzola cheese
1. Put the quinoa in a bowl or other container with 2 cups water and let soak for 4-8 hours.
2. Brush a 9″ cast-iron skillet with oil or use no-stick spray. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet use a cake pan or pie plate. Put in oven and turn it on to 450 to pre-heat.
3. Drain the quinoa, rinse and put in a blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup water and process until the consistency of a thick pancake batter, adding more water if needed. Add seasoning and salt and mix.
4. When oven is heated, carefully pour batter in to preheated pan and quickly spread around to an even thickness.
5. Bake for about 10 minutes, carefully flip and back for another 10 minutes until browned.
6. Remove from oven and add toppings, return to oven and bake for about another 5-7 minutes until heated.
Bon appetite!
