Sausage pizza on a chickpea flour crust

Ingredients:

Tomato sauce

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 carrot, chopped
• Half a small onion, chopped
• 1 can (220 g) of tomato sauce or 220 g of pureed tomatoes

Cake

• 2/3 cup chickpea flour
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 2 teaspoons olive oil

Topping

• 0.5 tsp olive oil
• 1 cup grated provolone cheese
• 100 g chicken sausages (about 1 piece), cut into 0.5 cm thick slices.

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 220°C.
2. Tomato sauce:
   Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, carrots, and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer over low heat until thickened, about 20 minutes.
3. Cake:
   Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the chickpea flour, garlic powder, salt, and 2/3 cup water. Heat the olive oil in a 7-inch (19 cm) round nonstick skillet over medium heat and pour the "batter" into the pan (it should be about 0.3 cm thick). Cook the crust until the edges begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Flip it over, like a pancake, and cook the other side for another 3 minutes. Transfer the crust to a baking sheet.
4. Place the tomato sauce in a food processor and process until smooth.
5. Pizza topping:
   Brush the crust with olive oil. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on top, leaving a 1 cm border. Sprinkle with grated provolone cheese. Top with slices of chicken sausage.
6. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes.
