Cooks Note
This easy and healthy recipe yields pizza that is very gourmet to look at, and tastes great too. Quick sauteed eggplant strips makes a wonderful counter to salted pistachios, sweet bursts of pomegranate, and crumbled feta cheese. Lay them on naan bread 'pizza bases' and you have a pizza that is incredibly wholesome: rich in vitamins and minerals from the eggplant, good fats from the nuts, and antioxidants from the pomegranate!
