This pizza is a very special treat. The bottom layer consists of a chickpea paste covered with white asparagus and red onions. Served with a fantastic broccoli sauce. Of course you can vary here. Green asparagus is also delicious on top.

Ingredients

• pizza dough
• 200 g cooked chickpeas
• 100 g cooked peas optional
• 1 tbsp spelt flour type 630
• water as needed
• salt and pepper as needed
• some cumin
• some curry powder
• 1 – 2 red onions
• 1 broccoli
• 300 g white asparagus

Instructions

• Make the pizza dough.
• Roll this out thinly, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and spread with the chickpea paste. To make the paste, puree the chickpeas and season with a little salt, pepper, curry powder and cumin.
• Wash the broccoli and divide into florets. Cook in a pan of water. If you like, you can optionally add peas and cook them too.
• Then sieve the vegetables and puree in a pan. Mix with some of the drained liquid. Mix the flour in an extra cup with 2 – 3 tablespoons of cold water, add to the hot vegetable mixture and bring to the boil until a thick sauce is formed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Peel the asparagus and cut off small pieces from the lower part. The upper asparagus tips can be left longer. Cook in a pan of water for approx. 20 minutes. Then drain well.
• Peel and chop the onions.
• First scatter the small pieces of asparagus on the pizza with the chickpea paste, then the red onions and the longer asparagus tips. Finally, spread a few dollops of the broccoli sauce between the vegetables.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius top/bottom heat for approx. 20 minutes.

Tip

Instead of a chickpea paste, you can also use a white bean paste seasoned with yeast flakes.

You can prepare the pizza dough the day before so that you only have to roll it out and top it. The pizza dough can be made with fresh or dried yeast.

If you’re in a hurry, use ready-cooked asparagus from the jar.

Interesting to know

Asparagus contains a lot of water. White asparagus grows underground and can be harvested in Germany from around mid-April to June 24. After that, the plant should recover. Green asparagus grows above ground and has a slightly nutty flavor.
