Directions
Layer the creamy cashew catupiry on a crisp pizza base, then top with a rainbow of Brazilian-inspired veggies. After baking, finish with a zesty, spicy chimichurri drizzle and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro to evoke the flavors of Brazil. For a gluten-free version, use your favorite gluten-free pizza base. The catupiry sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
