Vegan Pizza Recipe

Every once in a while you just need a pizza.  Here is our simple and quick pizza recipe.  Oh, and it is DELICIOUS too!

Ingredients:
Sauce:
2 lbs. Tomatoes
3 Cloves Garlic
1 Leek
1/2 Bunch Kale
1 Sprig Basil
3 Sprigs Oregano

Pizza:
Organic Cornmeal Pizza Crust (or whatever you can find)
1 Can Artichoke Hearts
1 Package Shiitake Mushrooms
Mozzarella Style Daiya Vegan Cheese


Directions:
Rinse your veggies before cooking.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Dice the leeks and set aside.  Dice the tomatoes and set aside.  Dice the artichokes and set aside.  Remove the stems from the shiitake mushrooms and dice the caps, set aside.  Coarsely chop the basil and oregano, set aside.  Coarsely chop the kale, and set aside.  Put some oil in a pan, and heat on medium.  Once the oil is hot, press the garlic into the pan and stir.  Add the leeks, stir, and cook for a couple minutes.  Sprinkle in some sea salt.  Pour in the tomatoes and stir.  Cook for a few minutes.  Add crushed black pepper to taste.  Add the oregano, basil, and kale.  Cook for a few minutes until the greens wilt down.  Pour this into a food processor, and puree until blended evenly.  Make as smooth or as chunky as you prefer!  Add sea salt and pepper to taste.  Spoon some of the sauce onto your pizza crust.  Sprinkle the mozzarella Daiya onto the pizza.  Sprinkle the shiitake mushrooms and artichokes on top of the Daiya.  Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes.  Let cool for a minute and serve!

Note:
You will have plenty of extra sauce, and probably extra mushrooms and artichokes as well.  You can use this to make some delicious pasta dishes, or whatever else you can think of!  Experiment and enjoy!
