GRILLED EGGPLANT PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare the grill and let burn down to medium coals or heat gas grill on medium heat.
• In a colander set over another bowl, salt the eggplant and let drain for 30 minutes then rinse and dry.
• Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with pepper. Toss the peppers with a little olive oil. Place both on the grill and cook the eggplant until browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. The slices should be browned between the grill marks when ready to turn. Move them away from direct heat and cook on the second side until tender, about 10 minutes total. Cut the grilled slices into 1/2-inch dice.
• Cook the peppers, turning as necessary, until charred all over. Remove the peppers to a bowl. Cover and let the peppers steam to loosen the skins. When cool enough to handle, peel, seed, and tear into long, thin strips.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Working on a surface free of flour, roll each ball under your palm. As it rolls, it will stick slightly to the surface, creating tension that helps form a tight, round ball. Dust the work surface lightly with flour, pat each ball down lightly, dust the tops with flour, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 15 minutes. With a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a circle 8 or 9 inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick.
• Have the grill ready at medium heat. Have the 1/4 cup olive oil, eggplant, peppers, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, if using, olives, and cheese in bowls and ready by the side of the grill.
• Brush each dough round with about 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Place on the grill, oiled side up, and cook until browned on the underside, about 2 minutes. Turn and, working quickly, brush each round with another 1 teaspoon olive oil. Then scatter each with 1/6 each of the garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, if using, eggplant, bell peppers, olives, and cheese. Cover the grill and cook until the rounds are browned on the bottom and the cheese has softened, about 7 minutes. Transfer to plates and top each with an equal amount of the arugula. Spritz lightly with vinegar. Serve immediately.

EGGPLANT AND FETA FLAT BREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Turn the flat bread over, top with eggplant, cheese, olives, and pepper and grill for 5 more minutes. Transfer pizzas to a baking pan, bake for 8 minutes, and serve immediately.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) MUSHROOM FETA PESTO PIZZA

Steps:

• Place the oven rack on the middle rung; preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• If your pizza crust is unbaked, pre-bake it for 5 minutes.
• Combine the olive oil and pesto, then spread crust with the mixture.
• Place eggplant and mushrooms evenly over the pesto, then sprinkle with the feta cheese.
• Season the pizza with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste.
• Bake on pizza pan or on pizza stone in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or the eggplant is cooked to preference, the crust edges are golden, and the feta is soft and beginning to brown (make sure to check it occasionally so that pizza doesn't burn).
• Note: those folks who like it a bit spicier can garnish their servings with red pepper flakes; also it's even better if you use prepared eggplant - take a look at my posted recipe "Hopvine's Marinated Roasted Eggplant".

FLAT BREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
• Spread the pesto over the flat bread.
• Thinly slice the courgette/zucchini. I use a mandoline to get thin even slices.
• Thinly slice the eggplant. It doesn't need to be peeled or salted.
• Thinly slice the mushroom.
• Slice the mozzarella.
• Spread the courgette slices evenly over the top of the bread. Add the eggplant and mushroom. Dots the slices of Mozzarella over the top of the vegetables. Add a grind of black pepper.
• Bake until the cheese is golden and bubbled (about 10 mins). The vegetables will cook in this time and the edges of the bread will become very crispy.
• Serve with a green salad for a very filling meal.
• Variations:
• My favourite spread is a coriander and chilli pesto. You can also use black olive paste (tapenade), sun dried tomato pesto or hummus. Pizza or tomato sauce is too wet.
• Other toppings: red pepper, green pepper, onion (put that on top of the cheese to that it roasts), olives, capers, anchovies, salami, pepperoni, ham -- You get the picture.

• Lightly drizzel olive oil all over crust.
• Spoon & spread pizza sauce (I like very light sauce).
• Add minced garlic all over crust.
