[rec.food.recipes] LACTO: Garbanzo Pizza

Here's another recipe I tried yesterday, a slight modification of
something I saw done by the Frugal Gourmet, Jeff Smith, on PBS. It
again follows my no amounts given approach to cooking.

Garbanzo Pizza (sounds better than chick-pea pizza)

Ingredients:

Garbanzo beans
Oregano
Basil
Rosemary
Mozzerella cheese
Tomatoes (or tomato sauce)

Bring the garbanzo beans to the point of readiness for putting in the 
food-processor. (i.e. open the can, or soak overnight and cook) Puree 
the beans, adding water to make them smooth and spreadable.

Grease enough pan space to accommodate however much garbanzo beans 
you've pureed. Spread out the pureed beans on the pan(s) about pizza 
thickness and cover liberally with a GOOD olive oil. Now cover with 
with the remaining ingredients, or with whatever else is in the fridge 
and might go well with it.

Bake at about 375 for a half hour or until just prior to burning 
commences. You should be able to cut pieces. If it's still rather 
mushy, put it in a bit longer.

This might work with a combination of tofu and garbanzo beans as well. 
I discovered that the tofu/garbanzo mixture worked nicely in 
the tolafel recipe I submitted earlier. (roughly equal proportions)
