Truth be told, even though I tweaked the recipe, I was a little (actually a LOT) wary of this crust when I was making it. I just figured that I would use all the cheese and topping to mask the taste if it turned out awful.
Boy, was I wrong! As you can see from the pictures below, I set outa bunch of things to top my pizza crust with, but I never got to use them. As soon as the crust came out of the oven, DH and I decided to steal pinches from the crust to see if it was any good.
To cut a long story short, we ate the whole crust straight from the oven, while standing in the kitchen. It was THAT good. Yummmmmmmmmm! I actually don't think I'm going to ever bother topping this crust, I'll just keep eating only the crust.
Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable; broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts are also included in that family. Consumption of these vegetables is linked to low rates of prostate cancer. Cauliflower is a good source of Omega-3, folate, Vitamins C, B-6 and B-12. How can you say no to that?
Preggies are not left out (congratulations!) as cauliflower is rich in fibre. I know how essential fibre is in a pregnant woman's diet...constipation, anyone?
Please make this, and enjoy it.
Ingredients
500g of cauliflower
1 egg
1 teaspoon of oregano
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
2 wedges of light cheese (room temperature)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Method
Preheat oven to 350.
Cut out the cauliflower florets and wash thoroughly. Grate or process the cauliflower till it resembles breadcrumbs.
Put the cauliflower in a pot, and set it over medium heat. Leave it for 4 minutes, the cauliflower will release some liquid.
Transfer the cauliflower to a tea towel, and, as soon as it's cool enough to handle, squeeze the life out of it ( just as hard as you can to remove all the liquid you can).
Put the cauliflower in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix to combine. Grease a sheet of wax paper and put the cauliflower on it. Use your hands to press the cauliflower into the shape of a pizza crust (not too thick or too thin) then bake for 10-12 minutes.
If you can make it past this stage, add your choice of toppings and bake for an additional 7 minutes.
Enjoy, and remember,
It's sooo good for you.
