Ingredients
- 1 Aubergine thinly sliced
- 2 red onions thinly sliced
- 12-15 punnet cherry tomatoes
- Drizzle olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 20 g basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- Black pepper to season
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan leave out for smaller babies
- 260 g self-raising flour
- 500 ml greek yogurt
- 1 pack buffalo mozzarella drained and cut into cubes
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 200ºC.
- Add the aubergines to a baking tray, then drizzle over olive oil and sprinkle over the garlic powder. Using your fingers rub until both sides are completely covered. Then, add the onions and cherry tomatoes to a baking tray, drizzle with a little olive oil and mix well. Roast the vegetables for 12 minutes until soft, remove from the oven and leave aside until ready to use.
- To make the pesto, add all of the ingredients to a pestle and mortar and grind until the leaves are broken down and it starts to turn into a smooth sauce (you can also use a blender).
- Meanwhile, add the self-raising flour and yogurt to a bowl and mix well until it forms into a dough. Empty onto a well-floured surface shape into a large circle, then cut into 8 equal parts.
- Take a piece of the dough and shape into a mini pizza, placed it onto a floured baking tray, then add a heaped teaspoon of pesto, top with roasted aubergine, onion and tomato then finally sprinkle over about 5-6 cubes of mozzarella.
- Bake for 12 minutes until the dough is bubbly and the cheese has melted.
- Serve warm.
