    3 cans chickpeas with liquid, 2 cloves garlic , 1 cup frozen corn, 1 bay leaf, 1 medium Spanish onion, 2 strips dried seaweed 
  • Pressure cook on high in instant pot for 12 min. When it is finished, allow it to vent naturally.
  • When it is done venting, open the lid and remove the bay leaf and onion. Place a strainer in a large bowl (so you can save the liquid stock) and drain the beans in the strainer. 
  • Then, put the beans back in the silver Instant Pot. Put the silver inner pot in the instant pot outer shell.
  • Pour 1 cup of bean stock in the instant pot with the beans.  1 cup bean stock
    1 cup bean stock
  • Then, add the juice of one large lemon.
    1 large lemon 
  • Add tahini and olive oil.
    3/4 cup tahini, 1/2 cup olive oil 
  • Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth with a few chunks of corn. Add the seasoning. Stir to combine. 
    2 tbsp Mediterranean sea salt, 1 tbsp cumin
  • Keep warm in the Instant Pot until ready to spread on pizza.

Make the Corn Sauté

  • On the stove, heat a skillet to medium. Add 1 tbsp olive oil.
    1 tbsp olive oil 
  • Add the shallot in first, saute for 1 minute. 
    1 large shallot   
  • Add the poblano, saute for 2 min. 
    1 poblano pepper 
  • Add the 2 cups frozen corn. Saute for 4 min. 
    2 cups frozen corn

    2 tsp coriander, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp Mediterranean sea salt

    1 cup fresh cilantro , 1 large lemon 
  • Set aside until ready to top the pizza.

Heat the Grill

  • Heat the grill with the pizza stone inside it to medium high.

Assemble the Pizza

  • Tear a piece of parchment paper large enough to hold your crust. Place it on the pizza peel.
  • Roll out the pizza dough. Make your crust as thin or thick as you prefer. I usually do a thin crust. Thicker crusts will take longer to cook. Place your crust on the parchment paper.
  • Spread the corn hummus as your base "sauce." Then, layer the corn sauté on top of the hummus.
  • Place the cherry tomatoes on top of the pizza. 
    1/2 pint cherry tomatoes 
  • Roughly chop 1/2 a bunch of kale. Spread on top of the pizza crust.
    1/2 bunch kale
  • Drizzle 1 ½ tbsp olive oil over kale and pizza dough.
    1 ½ tbsp olive oil  
  • Take your pizza out to the grill using the pizza peel as a tray. Gently slide it off of the parchment paper onto the pizza stone.
  • Grill at medium high for 6-8 minutes. Watch closely, grill time will vary.
  • Remove from grill. Sprinkle ¼ cup pine nuts onto top of pizza. Use a fork to place some pickled red onions onto top of pizza (optional).
    Enjoy!
