Is there any difference between pizzas or all of them are created to be equally perfect? Let’s make an eggplant pizza and find it out!
Ingredients
(3 pizza)
Sauce
- 1 medium Onion (finely cut)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ cup / 75ml Oil
- 1 clove Garlic (crushed)
- 14 oz / 300g Tomato pure
- 3-4 leaf Fresh basil
- 5-10 leaf Fresh oregano
Pizza base
- 4 Eggplants
Topping
- 5 oz / 150g Mozzarella
- 10 oz / 300g Grated cheese (Gouda, Edam…)
How to make Eggplant pizza
Sauce
- Pour oil into a pan and caramelize the onions then add the crushed garlic and fry it until it gets fragrant. (Check out the Low Carb Condiments for detailed Tomato Sauce recipe)
- Pour the pureed tomato and add basil, oregano and salt then cook it on low heat until about quarter of the liquid evaporates. Add salt to taste.
Pizza base
- Slice up the eggplants to desired width. Our favorite is the fine pizza crust that is 0.1″ / 3mm thick. Place the sliced up eggplants onto a parchment papered baking tray and sprinkle some salt on top.
- Let the salt drive out some moisture for 10 – 15 minutes.
- Place the eggplants into a 480°F / 250°C preheated oven for 10 minutes to pre-bake them. It’s an optional step if we want to get rid of the eggplant flavor for a more pizza like experience. Optionally we can also fry the eggplants in a frying pan.
Topping
- Grate the cheese and cut the necessary ingredients up.
Assembly
- Spread pizza sauce on top of the eggplants then sprinkle cheese and any additional ingredients.
- Place the pizza onto the top shelf of a 480°F / 250°C preheated oven until the cheese gets golden brown for about 8 – 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
