Ingredients

• Pizza dough - 250 grams
• Chickpeas (cooked or canned) - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Vegetable broth - 100 ml
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon

2. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the tomato paste, vegetable broth, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Add the chickpeas to the mixture and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley.
6. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.

8. Top with sliced red onion and Kalamata olives.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
