Flatbreads are always a quick and easy dinner option. Load it up with any choice of ingredients and you practically have a different dish each time. I particularly like the large pizza size flatizza (angelicBakery) which is thin and chewy, made with sprouted grains.
With the ongoing pandemic and the situation going up and down, we rely on our weekly produce subscription (MisfitsMarket) to get good quality vegetables and fruits at reasonable prices delivered to our door. This week I received parsley, beets, broccolini, mangos, and various other things.
I started off by roasting beets and broccolini. I made a big batch of pesto with the parsley. Then, I flavored it with aromatic basil. Finally, it was topped off the flatbread with harissa dressing to add some heat.
This flatbread is absolutely good for you with not a single ingredient that I can say as ‘indulgence’. Look at the list – Sprouted flatbread, beets, broccolini, parsley, pine nuts and harissa.
The beets provide a slight sweetness which pairs very well with the charred bitterness from broccolini. Pesto brings in robust flavor and texture. The basil threads add a beautiful aroma without taking over. I tossed harissa with almond milk to make a smooth creamy sauce and drizzled it all over the flatbread.
Follow this recipe as is, and let me know how it comes. We enjoyed it a lot and had a great deal of satisfaction of a meal which looked straight out of a gourmet pizza place!
