Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 800 g zucchini
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 75 g Parmesan
  • 30 g chickpea flour
  • 75 g cheese, grated
  • 1 garlic clove(s)
  • 2 stalks of basil
  • 1 egg(s)
  • olive oil
  • 200 ml tomato sauce
  • 6 slices of salami
  • 50 g cheese, grated
  • 6 mushrooms
  • 1 handful of arugula

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Rest time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

With salami, mushrooms and arugula

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius (482 degrees Fahrenheit). Coarsely grate the zucchini and toss it in a bowl with salt. Let it stand for 10-15 minutes to drain the water from the zucchini. Hang a sieve over a bowl and line it with a clean kitchen towel. Pour in the grated zucchini and use the towel to press the water out of the zucchini. The mixture should be quite dry and have lost a lot of its volume. Mix the grated zucchini with the cheese, chickpea flour, finely chopped basil, chopped garlic, and egg. Spread everything on oiled baking paper to form a pizza base and bake on a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone for 8-10 minutes. Remove the pizza base from the oven and top with your choice of toppings. Bake for another 3-5 minutes.
