A simple receipe for a super delicious bean feast meal which is a cross between a pizza and a pie.
Below is how the delicious bean feast pizza pie looked before I lovingly drenched it in avacado and garlic mayo.
Demolition in progress as I tucked into this yummy pizza pie.
This pizza was ridiculously delicious! I felt like a new woman afterwards! If I smoked I would have lit up a cigarette ( referencing what men do after the deed)
It was the perfect mix of flavours! The avocado mayo acts as the cheese. I originally planned to use some vegan cheese but my closest Auto Mercado in San Jose had sold out and I didn't have time to look in the San Pedro branch.
Instead of a traditional tomato sauce base I used a red refried bean base. The brand I used was the Santa Cruz brand of refried beans pouch and I used one small pouch as shown below. If of course you plan to make the pizza for more than one person than a larger pack would be needed.
For the toppings you will need:
○Baby plum tomatoes x6
○Sweetcorn - small can half
○Chopped jalapeños can x half
○Black beans x1 small can
○Fresh Papaya Seeds (Optional)
To make the garlic avocado mayo sauce you will need:
○Small avocados x2
○Garlic x4
○Water
○Pink salt
Blend the ingredients until smooth and drizzle over the finished pizza.
To make the pizza pie base
Pour yellow corn flour into a mixing bowl.
Grind in some pink sea salt.
Grind in some black pepper.
Pour in some water little by little and form a dough. You can always add more water or cornflour if initially it's too wet or too dry.
You want a firm but moist dough. Once you have the desired texture you can then split into two.
Place the balls on a plastic surface (like a freezer bag/clean plastic carrier bag) and squish with your the palm of your hands to form the basic shape below.
Once you have this basic shape use the palm of your fingers to flatten out and stretch the dough in all directions and build a ridge along the edge. The finished base should look like the one below.
The base is then ready to go into the oven.
The crispy crunch firm crust straight out of the oven! Ready to be topped.
Close up of the crust, the nature of the yellow corn flour means that it does crack on the surface but stays crispy and firm and holds the weight of the toppings really well.
Below is the red refried beans ready to be applied to the pizza base,I heated it in the microwave for 2 mins to soften it as it had set in the pack. Heating it makes it easier to spread.
The toppings ready to go on the refried bean base includes fresh juicy baby plum tomatos, sweetcorn (canned), jalapeno, fresh papaya seeds, black beans and fresh white onions.
The base with the red refried beans added.
The first of the toppings to go on are fresh the tomatoes and onions.
The rest of the toppings sweetcorn, black beans and jalapenos are added creating this beautiful palette below.
A generous amount of avocado and garlic sauce is then added randomly to the toppings creating this abstract masterpeiece!
With the hardwork out of the way it`s time to tuck in!
