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. Grill pork (optional): Season with zaatar, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and black pepper and sliced thin. Make hummus: containing chickpeas, olive oil, roasted garlic, cumin, lemon juice, tahini and salt. Onion: I used lots of sweet onion. Caramelized would be good.
Other ingredients as desired: roasted garlic, olives, artichoke hearts, fine sliced fine-chopped chilies - I used very hot habanero, olive oil, and 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, olives, garlic, chilies and artichokes evenly so every bite gets some. Brush olive oil over outside crust and sprinkle with Zaatar. Grate mozzarella over it. Bake at 425 F for 20-25 minutes.
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. And it is EXCELLENT without the pork!
