Middle Eastern inspired pizza or flatbread

Middle East-inspired flatbread or 'pizza'

This recipe uses a Lebanese spice blend called Zaatar. I used ARZ fine foods' version that has (according to the label) thyme, sumac, sesame, salt and spices.

Roast butternut squash with olive oil, black pepper, cayenne, cumin and garlic powder. Grilled pork (optional), seasoned with zaatar, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and black pepper. Hummus, containing chickpeas, olive oil, roasted garlic, cumin, lemon juice, tahini and salt. Onion, I used lots of sweet onion. Caramelized would be good. roasted garlic. Artichoke hearts, fine sliced. Fine-chopped chillies. Olive oil. Mozzarella cheese.

Start by roasting the garlic and butternut squash. Grill pork then finish in oven.

Make the pizza shell and spread hummus over it, this is your base sauce. Spread butternut, pork, onion, garlic, chillies and artichokes evenly. Brush olive oil over outside crust and sprinkle with Zaatar. Grate mozzarella over it. Bake at 425 F for 20-25 minutes.

Should have put olives on it. It can be done vegetarian and used to accompany other dishes (like grilled pork!). Goat or lamb would be even better than pork. Try this, it is very good.
