 Image Credit: Pure Food In Pure Food: Eat Clean with Seasonal, Plant-Based Recipes Veronica shares her easy vegetarian recipes—many of which are vegan and gluten-free, too—and tips for "cleaning" one's kitchen and lifestyle, from removing processed foods from the shopping cart at the supermarket to getting rid of chemical cleaners. Organized by month of the year, the recipes make use of whole grains, fresh produce, and other unprocessed ingredients, steering clear of refined sugar and grains and hydrogenated fats. Pure Food shows the simple steps busy home cooks can take to make their cooking more healthful—and delicious. Hummus Pizza with Arugula and Wild Mushrooms Serves 4 Pizza Dough ¾ cup almond milk, homemade (page 34) or store brought 1 ½ teaspoons grapeseed oil, plus more for bowl 1 ½ teaspoon organic cane sugar 1 cup white whole-wheat flour, plus more for kneading 1 (1/4-ounce) package rapid rise dry yeast ½ teaspoon sea salt ¾ cup whole-wheat flour Toppings 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil 4 cups sliced mixed wild mushrooms 1 cup of fresh lemon juice Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper ½ cup hummus, homemade (page 37) or store-bought 2 cups of loosely packed arugula ¾ cup sliced cherry tomatoes 1. For the dough, heat the almond milk and oil in small saucepan set over medium heat and set aside. 2. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the sugar until it is finely ground. Add the white whole-wheat flour, yeast, and salt and pulse two or three times to combine. With the machine running, slowly put the hot almond milk through the feed tube. Add the whole-wheat flour ¼ cup at a time, pulsing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. 3. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Knead for 4 to 5 minutes, and then shape into a ball. Put the dough in a large oiled bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 ½ hours. 4. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Dust 2 baking sheets lightly with flour and set aside. 5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Lightly dust a cutting board with flour and roll each piece out into a circle that is 1/8 inch thick. Transfer 2 crust to each of the prepared baking sheets and prick the surfaces all over with a fork. Let it rest for 10 minutes. 6. Bake the crusts until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside. 7. For the toppings, heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. 8. Assemble the pizzas by spreading the hummus over the crusts and arranging the arugula, mushrooms, and tomatoes on top. Serve immediately.  Image Credit: Pure Food Comments are closed.
