Recipe: Cauliflower Base Pizza

We used to eat pizza every saturday, but since we started our diet, it’s just too high in calories. I stumbled upon this recipe which uses cauliflower as the base instead of dough. We were both a bit dubious if it would actually work, but it tasted delicious, and was extremely filling! Grating the cauliflower took quite a while, but it was all worth it in the end! I think next time I make it, I’ll add more peri-peri to the base to give it more of a kick.

Ingredients

325g Cauliflower
125g Light Mozzarella Cheese
1 Egg
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt
1 teaspoon Peri-Peri Sprinkles
56g Low Fat Cheddar Cheese
110g Pasta Sauce
1 Pepper
150g Mushrooms
1 Onion

Directions

1.		Grate cauliflower using largest hole on the grater. Cook in the microwave for 7 minutes. Leave to cool for a while so the egg isn't cooked in the next step.
2.		Finely chop the mozzarella cheese and mix with the cauliflower. Add the egg, garlic salt and peri-peri sprinkles and mix thoroughly to combine.
3.		Spread onto a baking tray and form into pizza shape. The base may be a bit flexible once cooked, so it is best to line the baking tray with a non-stick sheet before cooking.
4.		Bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 160 degrees (fan oven).
5.		While baking, slice the peppers, mushrooms and onions then cook in the microwave. Peppers and mushrooms will take 1 minute each, the onions will take about 2.
6.		Remove the base from the oven, cover with pasta sauce and arrange the toppings. Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese and cook for another 5 minutes.
7.		Serve and enjoy.
