Kale Pesto recipe:

2 cups of kale (no stems)

1/2 a cup of basil

1/2 of olive oil

1 tbsp pink salt (more to taste)

6 small garlic cloves (or more)

juice of one lemon

2 tbsp of maple syrup (optional)

1 cup sprouted pumpkin and sunflower seeds

1/4 of a cup of nutritional yeast

2 tbsp of water

Bacon Mushrooms

1/2 tbsp of coconut oil

1 tbsp of tamari soy sauce

1 tbsp of liquid smoked

2 tbsp of maple syrup

A dash of chipotle powder

A dash of black pepper

Toppings:

Cherry tomatoes, avocado, bacons, mushrooms and pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven at 400 degrees

2. Take your 4 tbsp of chia seeds and add 8 tbsp of water to a bowl, mix well and let it sit for 5-7 minutes

3. Take a large bowl and add all your crust ingredients and knead with your hands.

4. Take your pesto ingredients and process using a high speed-blender or a food processor.

5. Take your chopped mushrooms and marinate them with your "bacon" ingredients, lay them on a cooking sheet with parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. 

6. Take your cauliflower dough and form into pizza crust, depending how thin or thick you want it will determine the amount of time baked. If you decide to make the crust about 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch thick then bake for 30-35 mins but keep an eye out for it after 25 mins (lay parchment paper on a cooking sheet).

7. Once fully baked, lay the crust on a cooling rack and cool for 30 minutes.

8. Then add your pesto and your toppings and enjoy.

Have a happy new year everyone!!!!
