Just a delicious side note...

If ever there was a side note that needed to be posted, if you don't all already know, you NEED to check out EthicalPizza.com. Set up by the same guy who ran SFVegan, and did the first animal kill counter, this site has some amazing video tutorials on making your own delicious vegan pizza in your oven.

I think we were at Deva Deva Cafe, eating their amazing vegan pies when I said something about making it ourselves. Of course, it was easy to say back then because in Japan... most people don't have ovens!!! (shocking...) Anyway, the tiny little broilers they have are used mainly for fish, and even putting a little garlic bulb to roast can be a tight fit.

So make sure to check out EthicalPizza.com. So far we've made their dough recipe maybe a half dozen times, and it has always came out great. We can't even find parchment paper, so we have just been giving the crisper a little grease and so far, none of our pizzas have come close to sticking. Here's a quick, not so whole foods recipe that we tried and ashamedly love:

Vegan BLT Pizza

1 pie's worth of dough from EthicalPizza.com
1 small head romaine lettuce
1 tomato
1 bacon replacement (we used bac-os... yikes...)
3 Tbsp vegan mayo
Salt + Pepper

Prepare dough as you like (we used some whole wheat flour). Roll out, and add 3 Tbsp of mayo on top and spread around like a sauce. Add sliced tomato + bacon replacement on top and put in the oven for around 10 minutes @ 500F. While pizza is baking, chop up lettuce and mix in a bowl with 1 Tbsp mayo and salt and pepper. After 10 minutes, add the lettuce mixture on top and finish baking for another 5 minutes.

We've also tried a the basic recipe on their site (great!), potato/artichoke (great!), and bbq with the new Gardein bbq nonsense (blech...). Marinated tofu and leftover pasta sauce is killer as well. I think I'm making up for all that lost pizza I've missed in the last few years...
