Cauliflower Crust Cheese Pizza

  1. Divide the cauliflower into florets and discard the outer leaves and the core.
  2. Place in a food processor and blitz briefly until shredded into couscous size grains.
  3. You might need to do this in two batches.
  4. The recipe I was following said to place the cauliflower rice in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 5-6 minutes on high.
  5. I don't have a microwave and found another recipe where it suggested spreading thinly in a large roasting pan, rubbing in a little olive oil, and baking for 10 minutes at 200C/Gas 6.
  6. It caught slightly so I'd suggest a lower heat for about 6-8 minutes.
  7. Pile the cooked cauliflower rice in the middle of a clean kitchen towel and squeeze it tightly so that all the liquid is removed.
  8. All the recipes I looked at stressed that this is really important to get a dry pizza base.
  9. I think microwaving probably creates more liquid as I didn't get that much.
  10. Place the 'rice' in a bowl and add the ground almonds, eggs, oregano and cheese.
  11. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
  12. Place baking parchment on a baking tray and brush liberally with olive oil.
  13. Pile the pizza base mixture in the middle and then use your fingers to spread it out into a thin round.
  14. Bake in the hot oven for 15 minutes until golden.
  15. Allow to cool completely, then add your pizza toppings.
  16. I used some leftover tomato and bacon sauce I'd made for pasta and some grated Cheddar cheese and Parmesan.
  17. Place in the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling.
  18. Eat!
