This mediterranean plantain flatbread is a delicious and simple Paleo dish that you will make over and over. It’s also gluten free!
I was so excite this worked out. When I made my Savory Plantain Crackers one day it hit me that they would make a good pizza crust. This Mediterranean plantain flatbread actually came out more like a flatbread then a pizza crust but it was delicious! Sauted mushrooms, spinach and sun dried tomatoes go perfectly with the feta cheese and pine nuts. This would make a delicious gluten free appetizer or lunch!
I used the same basic recipe as the crackers (which you can find here or below) but just added an egg. It made two crusts as pictured above. All I did was spread the mixture on a silicon mat like this placed on a cookie sheet and baked it for 10 minutes. If you don’t have a silicone mat you can use parchment paper.
While the flatbreads were baking in the oven, I sautéed the mushrooms and garlic in the olive oil until the mushrooms started to brown. Next I added the spinach, pine nuts and sun dried tomatoes. Make sure to only sauté this a bit until the spinach starts to wilt. Once both the flatbread and the filling was finished, I spread the mixture on top and then added some crumbled feta cheese.

Popped those back in the oven for 10 more minutes and it was done. Here is the finished product. This was really tasty and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

January 4, 2015 at 5:02 pmThis looks great, I love plantain so can imagine it would be tasty as a base here. I would never have thought of using it in this way but sounds worth a try. The topping looks tasty too.
