Frybread & Giardiniera Pizza



This was pretty good, has vegan mayo on it and a chile sauce, I won't bother making recipes here for those, however...

A Basic Frybread

1 C. flour
1/4 tsp. or more garlic salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/3 C. warm water or vegan milk
1 Tbsp. oil
oil for frying as well

Mix the flour, garlic salt and baking powder together, then add water and Tbsp. oil. Mix to form a nice smooth dough. Divide in two and form flat discs using your hands to pat and pull them into this shape, around 5-6" diameter. Make a slit or indentation in the middle (keeps it from puffing up too much). Fry in hot oil, until browned, if you're just using a pan, turn them once. This only makes two but obviously you can make a larger batch.

For a small batch of Giardiniera, with olives in it as well for this item:

6-8 cauliflower florets
12 carrot slices
6 peperoncini or other fun pepper
6-8 large green, pitted olives
6-8 pieces of celery
chile flakes, salt to taste
1 C. cider vinegar
1/2 C. water
1/4 C. lemon juice
sprig of marjoram
a few crushed coriander berries

Simmer the veg in vinegar, juice, water and spices, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Allow to cool, then place in a container and keep in the fridge with some of the brine, giving it a good shake from time to time. Drain when ready to use.

Obviously, spread some mayo on the flatbreads, then half of your giardiniera on each and of course drizzle with some chile sauce.
There are about a million different variations you could do of this, I just wanted a nice spicy, salty snack.
