Garlic White Pizza with Broccoli, Pepper, and Hot Italian Tempeh Sausage

Ingredients

For the Cauliflower Garlic White Sauce:

  • 1 medium head Cauliflower, quartered
  • 5-8 garlic cloves
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup Nutritional yeast
  • 150g vegan cheese, shredded (reserve some for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For the Pizza Toppings:

  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1-2 bell peppers, sliced into 1 inch julienne
  • Hot Italian Tempeh Sausage (recipe linked in description)
  • Vegan cheese, remaining from sauce ingredients

Other:

  • Pizza base (pizza dough, french bread, large lavash, thick pita, or english muffins)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower Garlic White Sauce:

    • Add the quartered cauliflower and garlic cloves to a pot with 2 cups of water.
    • Add a pinch of salt.
    • Bring to a boil and cook until the cauliflower is very soft and easily breaks apart. Ensure there's still a little liquid remaining.
    • Transfer the cauliflower and garlic (and remaining liquid) to a blender.
    • Add 1 cup of nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and most of the vegan cheese (reserve some for topping).
    • Blend until smooth and creamy. The sauce should be thick, not runny.
    • Let the sauce sit for a minute to allow it to thicken further. It will last 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

  2. Blanch the Broccoli:

    • Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl.
    • Pour hot water from a kettle over the broccoli to cover it.
    • Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until the broccoli turns bright green.
    • Strain the broccoli and set aside.

  3. Prepare the Pizza Bases and Toppings:

    • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
    • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
    • Cut the lavash (or other chosen base) in half if necessary to fit on the baking sheets.
    • Slice the bell peppers into 1-inch julienne strips.
    • Crumble or slice the Hot Italian Tempeh Sausage.

  4. Assemble the Pizzas:

    • Spread a fair amount of the cauliflower garlic white sauce on each pizza base, leaving a small border.
    • Sprinkle a little vegan cheese over the sauce.
    • Top with blanched broccoli florets, sliced red peppers, and the Hot Italian Tempeh Sausage.

  5. Bake the Pizzas:

    • Place the baking sheets with the pizzas in the preheated oven.
    • Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are heated through.
