Ingredients

Caponata Topping:

1 eggplant, stem removed, chopped into 1/2-inch cubes

2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil

1 red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved

1/2 cup canned chopped tomatoes

1 teaspoon chili flakes

2 cloves garlic, crushed

Pinch flaky sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Flatbread:

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon baking powder

Pinch flaky sea salt

To serve:

Handful of arugula

Vegan Parmesan, optional

Directions

  1. For the caponata topping: In a medium sauté pan, sauté the eggplant in the olive oil over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes, until starting to soften. Add the onion and cook until both are soft and are starting to brown, about 8 minutes.
  2. Stir in the olives, tomatoes, chili flakes, garlic and salt, season with black pepper and then turn down the heat to a gentle bubbling simmer and leave to cook whilst making the flatbread.
  3. For the flatbread: Add the flour, plant-based milk, olive oil, baking powder and salt to a large bowl and mix together to form a dough. Form into a round in the bowl, then transfer to a floured work surface. Pat down to flatten and roll out as thin you can get it with a rolling pin so it’s roughly the size of a large nonstick skillet.
  4. Put your skillet over medium-high heat to heat up. When hot, tip the flatbread carefully in and cook for 3 minutes on each side, until light golden brown.
  5. Transfer to a serving board and top with the eggplant caponata sauce, spreading it evenly across the flatbread base.
  6. To serve: Finish off with a handful of arugula and a grating of vegan Parmesan if using.
