Cauliflower base pizza? It tastes better than it sounds. If you’re carb free, paleolithic, gluten free or perhaps just trying to cut back a little bit then this is a total winner.
To make one pizza you’ll need:
1 small cauliflower
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
1/4 cup grated mozzarella
1tsp dried oregano
1 big clove crushed garlic
1 egg
Pinch of salt & pepper
Toppings:
Tomato pizza sauce (homemade or from a jar if you like)
About a cup of grated mozzarella
1 big pinch dried oregano
Any goodies you fancy! Spicy meatballs? Ham? Pineapple? Go wild.
1. Pre-heat your oven to 220C/430F and pop a large, flat baking tray in there to get hot too.
2. Grate your cauliflower until you’re left with ‘rice’ (about 2 or 3 cups).
3. Cover with a plate and put it into the microwave for around four minutes. When it pings bring it out and tip onto a clean, dry tea-towel to cool down.
4. While it cools, grate your cheese and put it in a large mixing bowl.
5. Once the cauliflower is cool enough to to handle, pull up the edges of your towel and wring all the moisture out of the rice. Really squeeze it all out! Then, throw it into the bowl with your cheeses.
6. Add your oregano, garlic & egg.
7. Stir it all together.
8. Lay a piece of grease-proof paper onto a chopping board and rub it with a bit of olive oil.
9. Squidge your ‘dough’ into a pizza shape on the paper. Give it some nice round, pizza-ry edges.
10. Carefully remove your hot baking tray from the oven. Slide the paper and the base across onto the tray (carefully!) and put it back into the oven for about 10mins.
Pull it out when it looks all gloriously bronzed.
11. Smooth on your sauce, cheese, oregano & toppings (I went for prosciutto and sliced chillies.)
12. Pop the whole thing back into the oven for about 5 mins or until it’s all melted and bubbly.
13. TIME TO SCOFF YOUR FACE.
