Grilled Eggplant and Apple Pizza with Toasted Walnuts and Roasted Red Peppers

There are many methods to grilling vegetables depending on the season.  I used a cast iron pan as I didn't feel like firing up the barbeque.  I use my bread machine to make pizza dough.  Works perfectly every time!
  • dough for 1 large pizza
  • 1 eggplant, sliced into rounds and grilled
  • 1 apple, sliced thin and grilled
  • 1 large, red onion sliced in rounds and grilled
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1 cup toasted walnuts
  • Feta
  • Mozzarella cheese
Smokey BBQ Tomato Sauce
  • 213 ml can of tomato sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1-2 tbsp BBQ Sauce
  1. Preheat oven to 500°.  
  2. Combine all ingredients for the "Smokey BBQ Tomato Sauce" into a small food processor and blend until smooth. 
  3. Cut dough in half and roll out until you have achieved 2 medium size pizza shells about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Spread sauce over each shell and begin to add your toppings.  Finish with walnuts, Feta and finally the Mozzarella.
  5. Bake both pizza's in oven for 7 minutes then move the bottom pizza to the top and bake another 7 minutes.
