How to Make Aphrodite's Faster Than Takeout Pizza

  1. Peel 1 medium eggplant.
  2. Remove seeds from 1 large red bell pepper.
  3. Cut eggplant, red pepper, and 1 medium onion into large 2-3 inch pieces.
  4. Steam vegetables in the microwave or steamer basket until semi-tender (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Whisk together 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons red wine, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl.
  6. Once vegetables are cool enough to handle, shred them into julienne strips using a vegetable peeler or knife.
  7. Add the julienned vegetables to the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
  8. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  9. Drain the marinade from the vegetables, reserving ½ of the marinade.
  10. Whisk the reserved marinade with 2 tablespoons tahini to create the pizza sauce.
  11. Spread the tahini sauce evenly over 1 pre-made pizza crust (or flatbread).
  12. Top with the marinated vegetables, ½ cup Kalamata olives, 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, and 2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese.
  13. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
