How to Prepare Basil Pesto Pizza With Rice and Lentil Crust [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
To Make the Crust:
- Add the green lentils and the brown rice in a pot along with enough water to boil them.
- Bring the water to a boil and let the beans and rice cook for 10 minutes. The grains should end up cooked but still firm.
- Drain the water and transfer the grains to the food processor.
- Add the rest of the crust ingredients in the processor and grind them until you get a firm, dough-like consistency. It won't turn completely smooth, there will still be some texture due to the rice and the lentils.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- On a large piece of parchment paper, spread the dough out into an approximately 10-inch diameter pie.
- Raise the edges.
- Transfer the pie to oven and cook it at 350°F for 15 minutes.
- Let the crust cool while you work on the pesto topping.
To Make the Pesto:
- Grind all the pesto ingredients (except the olive oil) in a food processor until you are happy with the texture.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the olive oil.
To Make the Pie:
- Spread the pesto uniformly over the crust.
- Add your favorite toppings.
