Ingredients

    • 1 tsp salt
    • 50g Laila Red Kidney Beans
    • 65g cup Laila Black Eye Beans
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 100g cooked chicken, cubed
    • 1 tbsp jerk seasoning
    • Freshly prepared pizza dough, 12 inches
    • 120g pizza sauce
    • 100g mozzarella cheese
    • Toppings (Optional)

  • 2 tbsp sweetcorn
  • 2 tbsp black olives, sliced
  • 4 rings bell pepper
  • ½ onion, sliced

Method

    • In a bowl add 2 cups water and 1 tsp salt. Add red kidney beans and black eye beans to soak for 2 hours.
    • Drain the beans and place in a pressure cooker with fresh water. Pressure cook for 5-7 minutes or until the beans are cooked. Drain and cool to room temperature.
    • Alternatively, use our canned beans and cook according to package instructions to save time.
    • In a frying pan, heat olive oil and add in chicken cubes with jerk seasoning.Cook for a few minutes until the chicken is coated, and a little crisp. Set aside.
    • Dust a clean surface with flour and thinly roll out the pizza dough, using a rolling pin. Place over a pizza baking sheet and press the edges with a little pressure. Roll the excess dough inwards and poke the base with a fork all over.
    • Mix the cooked, cooled beans with pizza sauce in a bowl. Layer a generous amount evenly over the pizza dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, chicken pieces and your chosen toppings. We recommend sweetcorn, black olives, bell pepper and onion.
    • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until the crust turns brown and the base is crispy.
    • Drizzle with Laila Piri Piri Sauce for added heat.
