Awsome recipe! Who ever thought this up is a genius! And also, full of good things for you like marinated vegetables and tahini. The recipe tells you to peel the eggplant and steam all veggies before marinating them, I did not peel it and only chose to steam the eggplant, the rest of them I added raw to marinade. The marinade is tad too sweet, I reduced the sugar to 1/3 cup and it was still almost too sweet, but not quite. Also, I added about 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp cayenne to the marinade. For the base I used the recipe for Pizza Dough for Thin Crust Pizza, using 1 cup whole meal flour and it was all just perfect! I was over the moon, DH was not. He did not think tahini was great in the pizza at all, but that is just because he is ignorant. I would not give any less than 5 stars for a recipe like this, even if it takes some tinkering!
