Lentil Dhal and Broccoli Pizza
I hadn’t yet cooked pizza in my new oven with my baking steel, so I was excited to try it out. It worked fantastic with the broiler on the whole time. I was able to get the steel to around 625 degrees! The pizza I made used lentil dhal as the sauce with a little broccoli and some parmesan cheese and it came out great.
To make the dhal I started by caramelizing some onion and carrot.
I made a curry powder and added a few cloves of garlic to it right in the mortar and pestle.
The paste goes in next.
Then a can of tomato.
Cook the tomato down a bit until it becomes pasty before adding your lentils and broth.
Once the lentils and broth go in, let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes.
Then spoon some out onto the pizza dough.
The broccoli and a little parm go on next.
When it comes out it’s piping hot and delicious.
A super unique pizza idea that is very tasty!
A fun vegetarian pizza idea as well.

Lentil Dhal and Broccoli Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Red Lentils
- 2 Cups Veggie Stock
- 1 Onion diced
- 1 Carrot diced
- 5 Cloves Garlic minced
- 1.5 Tablespoons Curry Powder homemade if possible
- 14 Ounces Canned Diced Tomato
- Broccoli
- Pizza Dough
- Parmesan
Instructions
- Cook the onion and carrot in some oil until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Add in the garlic and spices and cook 3 minutes. Add in the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until liquid has slightly evaporated. Add in the lentils and stock. Simmer for about 30 – 40 minutes until the lentils are mostly dissolved.
- Toss the broccoli with some oil and salt and broil on high for 15 minutes to char on the edges.
- Roll out the pizza dough and top with the lentil mix. Add the cheese and broccoli and cook in the oven at 500 for about 10 minutes. Serve.
this looks amazing Dan. nicely done and what an interesting recipe. love it…
Looks fantastic! Because of my own dietary restrictions I’d probably go with spinach instead of broccoli, and maybe throw on some fresh basil and green onion too.
Hi Dan; So, I just made my own Dhal Pizza using a South Indian Coconut Tamarind Dhal recipe. Left it naked but tried it out with Red Pepper Jelly and I kind of liked the contrasting flavours. I also made your Sour and Spicy Noodles but I didn’t have any Hummous but what I wanted to say is that your balance of the other seasonings was pretty much perfect and I’m going to keep that recipe. And your Corned Beef Fries? Wow! Yum….
Thank you so much!
nice foood thanks for this recepy
