  • 100g Cashew Nuts
  • 1 Pinch of Himalayan Rock Salt
  • 1 Pinch of Black Pepper

  • 2 Cloves of Garlic
  • 24 Cherry Tomatoes
  • 40g Fresh Basil
  • 150g Sun-Dried Tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 Pinch of Himalayan Rock Salt

How To Make

1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F / gas mark 6). Line a baking tin with greaseproof paper. Remove the ends and grate the parsnip. Remove the ends and skin the garlic. Take 8 of the cherry tomatoes and cut in half. Remove the leaves from the basil and discard the stems. Slice the halloumi into small slices.

2. It's all about the base: Place the oats. nuts, salt and pepper into the container of a 'Retro Super Blend', hand blender or bullet-type blender and whiz for 10 seconds to form a 'flour'. Place the 'flour' into a mixing bowl along with the grated parsnip. Mix with (clear) hands until the mixture turns into a dough. Divide the dough into four and flatten each one with your hands, then roll each one into a roundish shape using a rolling pin. Slide under each pizza base with a wide knife and transfer to a baking tray.

3. Cook: Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.

4. Make the Sauce: Place the garlic, the whole cherry tomatoes, half the basil, the sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, salt and pepper into the hand blender container, 'Retro Super Blend', or bullet-style blender and blend for 10 seconds.

5. Create: Spoon the sauce onto the cooked bases and spread evenly leaving a small gap around the edge. Randomly add the halloumi, the cut cherry tomatoes and pine nuts.

6. Cook: Pop back in the oven for 10 minutes

7. Serve: Remove from the oven and scatter with the remaining fresh basil
