Roasted Broccoli & Apple-Cranberry Sauce
Roasted garlicky broccoli, lemon-poppyseed dressing (with Greek yogurt, agave & orange zest), spiced cranberry-apple sauce, red onion, almonds, sunflower seeds, chili flakes & grated manchego Cranberry sauce is something I love eating and making, but really only have this time of year.

Jerk Plantains & Pomegranate BBQ Sauce
Roasted plantains with homemade jerk seasoning, stir fried onions & bell peppers, queso fresco, homemade pomegranate BBQ sauce drizzle, fresh cilantro For this recipe, we were experimenting with creating our own rubs and sauces.

Pear Dumplings & Raspberries
Poached pear dumplings, blue cheese sauce with basil & walnuts, arugula, raspberries We’ve played around with using dumpling-style toppings on pizzas before (see: Samosa Pizza).

Recipe Ingredients: 1 ball of pizza dough flour for dusting semolina fl

Butternut Squash & Cardamom
Greek yogurt & feta sauce, butternut squash & red onion with spices (nigella seeds, cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, turmeric), pumpkin seeds, diced jalapeño This recipe was adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi’s Plenty More. It was the first time we had discovered the smoky, toasted onion flavor of nigella seeds, and we couldn’t wait to make it again on a pizza. You can find the seeds at most spice stores, or order them online, but if don’t feel like searching all over for the
