Heart shaped pizza with a pretty pink balsamic beet spread <3
Anyway, to make a heart shaped pizza, I simply poured a few tablespoons of the lentil batter onto the frying pan and quickly spread into a heart shape. I made mini pizzas, but by all means feel free to make full sized heart shaped pizzas, as big as your frying pan will allow!

Ingredients
Pizza
- 2 cups dry red lentils
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 garlic clove
Beet spread
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbs balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup grated beetroot
Toppings

- Radishes
- Basil

Instructions
Pizza
- Blend all pizza ingredients in a high speed speed blender (I use an Optimum 9400) until the lentils are broken down.
- Preheat a frying pan (I use a cast-iron griddle plate) over a low-medium heat – grease with a little splash of olive oil if needed.
- Spoon a few tablespoons of batter onto the frying pan (if making mini-pizzas – otherwise pour on about ½ cup batter) and use the spoon to shape into a heart.
- Fry for about 2-3 minutes, until the top is fairly cooked through, and flip.
- Fry for a further 2 minutes on the reverse side, then transfer to a plate while you repeat with the remaining batter.
Beet spread
- Blend all beet spread ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth.
- Spread onto the pizzas.
- Top with toppings of your choice (I used strawberries, basil and radishes).
- OPTIONAL: You may bake for 10 minutes but I really enjoyed the raw vegetables on top.
