Pizza de Manga is a vibrant Brazilian vegan pizza that combines the sweetness of ripe mango with fresh vegetables and a zesty cashew cream. It's a delightful dish that showcases tropical flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat pizza dough - 250 grams
• Ripe mango - 1 medium, diced
• Red bell pepper - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Red onion - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Fresh arugula - 50 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Cashew nuts - 100 grams (soaked in water for 2 hours)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
3. Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. In a blender, combine soaked cashew nuts, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth to create a creamy cashew sauce.
5. Spread the cashew cream evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Evenly distribute the diced mango, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion over the cashew cream.
7. Sprinkle nutritional yeast over the toppings for a cheesy flavor, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
