Veggie Flatbread:

Ingredients:

• Lavash Bread

• cashews (soaked for a minimum of 30 mins)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon garlic salt

• 5 fresh basil leaves or ½ teaspoon dried basil leaves

• ¼ cup almond milk

• salt to taste

• Miyoko’s Fresh Mozzarella

• ½ zucchini

• spinach

• ½ tomato

• black olives

• red pepper flakes

• oregano

• basil

• salt & pepper

Recipe:

You’re going to start this recipe with your base.

1. In a blender, add your cashews, garlic powder, garlic salt, basil, almond milk, and salt as needed. Your sauce is going to be very liquidy, almost water-like, but that’s okay for this recipe. If you want it a little thicker, add some cornstarch.

2. Now, slice your zucchini into thin slices, dice your tomatoes, and finely chop your spinach.

3. Take a piece of your lavash bread and spread on your garlic cream sauce.

4. Add your mozzarella, spinach, tomatoes, zucchini, and olives to the flatbread.

5. Next, sprinkle on your salt, pepper, and oregano. In an oven, cook the flatbread for 7 minutes at 375 degrees.

6. Chop your onion into long slivers. In a small pan, add cooking oil and once warm, add your onions. Allow this to sauté for 5-7 minutes or until your onions are fairly browned. Now, add your balsamic vinegar and continue cooking your onions until they are fully browned.

7. Once the flatbread is cooked, top with caramelized onions, basil, and red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
