I had been on the look out for a different topping to my pizza base, instead of the usual pizza toppings, with the pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese etc. This was something I had to try when I upon it. It turned out ok. i need to tweak the recipe as i found it a bit bland. Laced punch.. I blended the feta with the tahini sauce, red chilli flakes and garlic. Topped with zaater, tomato slices and red / yellow capsicum.

This was great--made it for my husband, who is quite picky about "healthy" foods, but he really enjoyed it. I added ricotta cheese and didn't put tomatoes, but added onion slices instead. He loved it, so thank you for a recipe that I will use again!
