Cuisine: American
Serves: 6-8 pizza slices
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup brown lentils
  • 1 TBS butter
  • 1 TBS soy sauce
  • ½ TBS vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp steak seasoning
  • 1 whole wheat pizza dough recipe
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 TBS each: ketchup, yellow mustard, and mayo
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ¼ cup pickles, diced (from 2 spears)
Instructions
  1. Cover the lentils with water in a small pan and bring to a boil on the stove top. Simmer for 15 minutes. Drain.
  2. Place lentils back in the pan and coarsely mash with the back of a spoon. Add the butter and place the pan over low heat. Stir until the butter is melted, then mix in soy sauce, vegetarian Worcestershire, and steak seasoning. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed. Set lentils aside.
  3. Preheat oven with a pizza stone to 450 F.
  4. Slice both tomatoes into thin ⅛ inch thick pieces. Take half of one tomato and dice. Set the diced tomato aside for the topping.
  5. Press the pizza dough out into a 12 inch circle on a piece of parchment paper. Brush the dough with olive oil and top with tomato slices and minced garlic. Sprinkle with cheeses and then top with the lentil mixture.
  6. Transfer to the pizza stone. (The dough can stay on the parchment, and 4 hands will make this easier to stretch the parchment so the pizza doesn't flop. A pizza peel is also an option.)
  7. Bake on the stone in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, mix together ketchup, mustard, and mayo.
  9. Sprinkle lettuce, pickles, and reserved tomato over the pizza. Drizzle with the ketchup mixture and slice into 6 or 8 pieces.
