I made a list of pizzas to make during the month. It wasnt a long one, but it had a few on the definitely make list, one of which was the Mac and cheese Pizza and the next was the Sloppy joes. Behold the Lentil free sloppy joes. These sloppy joes are inspired by Seattle’s Plum Bistro’s Quinoa Burger, which has all the similar toppings plus some caramelized onions. That is one burger where all the toppings, dressing and the spices work very well together. Now if only I had known about the cooking class with Plum’s chef on 20th, I would have probably found out the secret recipe and made the real deal:)
My birthday was fun. Work free time with hubbs. Breakfast of ginger molasses french toasts by hubbs, burgers and wraps from Sage (now called Plum) Cafe at Cap hill, a long drive with great music and fall colors, dark chocolate cakes from Hot cakes in Ballard and a light dinner of Aloo Gobhi (Spiced Potatoes and cauliflower) and Daal by hubbs. I did not cook anything 🙂
The crust on the post is Rye wheat crust. The dark crust went well with the moody joes. That is crust number 13! You can use any of the earlier 12 crusts(regular wheat or glutenfree options) as well. See the Collection here.
You can also make the sloppy stew with a combination of quinoa and millet. Or use cooked lentils or make some sloppy chickpeas. The Quinoa stew and jalapeno aioli are glutenfree.
Smoky and spicy stew with the citrusy sweet orange, spicy and cool Jalapeno Aioli. You must make this!
What would you like to see on a Pizza next?
I am thinking Sushi Pizza 😉

Hello,
I was wondering, for the Jalapeno Aioli can I substitute raw cashew flour for cocnut flour? Thanks -Sean
Richa
you will be better off using silken tofu or regular flour. coconut flour doesnt mix well with liquids so it just be powdery
Corrin Radd
Made this one–I think I like it even more than you jalapeno popper pizza (and I LOVE that pizza). I will be putting the jalapeno aioli on ALL of my pizzas.
Richa
Thank you Corrin. I am so sooo happy that you are making my Pizzas and loving them! Thank you for the lovely comments! this is what keeps me going. Have a wonderful week!

Terra
The pizzas you have made this month have been so creative and fun!!! Your crust looks so thick and wonderful. What a great way to incorporate quinoa, I am pinning this, I need to make it for sure! The addition of oranges is so unique and delicious! Hugs, Terra

Thank you for the mention! There are so many unique concepts about this pizza- the sloppy quinoa, the oranges on top, the rye crust- I’m simply amazed!
I’m so glad to hear that you had a good birthday! 🙂

Delicious pizza with sloppy joes and orange.
Richa
Thanks Swathi!
foodfeud
Wow, this looks so incredible! Citrus on a pizza is way out there for me – I’ve never even tried it with pineapple. Such great flavor combos – there’s a lot going on here. Awesome.
Richa
it works out very well togehter. or you can just make one part.. the stew or the crust as bread sticks:)
Kristina @ spabettie
WOW, these flavors sound incredible! I want to make this immediately!
Richa
You should !:))
Yum Girl

While the whole assembled pizza does look fantastic, I can easily see myself just making the sloppy joe portion and being perfectly happy! In fact, I might already be plotting to put it on tonight’s dinner menu… Time will tell if I still feel semi-ambitious in so many hours. 😉
Richa
did you get to it ?:) the quinoa stew indeed is delicious by itself. hot and smoky perfect for this weather.
Lubna Karim
That’s an awesome crust….love the recipe…..I even love the topping…..

Richa

Gauri
Ohh this looks so tempting, loved the toppings!
Richa
Thanks Gauri!
Caitlin
oddly enough, i’ve been craving a quinoa sloppy joe stew. definitely making this. if i don’t have miso should i replace it with something or just exclude it?
this pizza looks so yummy……! oh how i love sloppy joes <3
Richa
just skip the miso.. there is enough flavor going on in the stew:)
anunrefinedvegan.com
Wha?! Totally over the top – which I probably said about another one or two of your creations – but this takes the title.
Richa
Thanks Ann. it is actually easier to put together than some of the others:)
Cadry
What an unusual flavor combo! They all sound like they’d be so complementary and delicious together! I’m especially intrigued with the jalapeño aioli. Beautiful presentation, as always!!
Richa
Thanks Cadry. it actually works beautifully. with some fresh bread as a burger or pizza!
Gabby @ the veggie nook
Wow this is so unique Richa! I never would have though to pair a sloppy joe with citrus, let alone make it into a pizza! You are awesome 🙂
Richa
it works absolutely fabulously!!
