Cauliflower pizza

[Andy12345]

Ok so I bought a blender machine thingy, made cauliflowered base pizza, me and the wife loved it, kids hated it, oh well going to try cauliflower mash next, it's good fun apart from the washing up.

hi, i followed a link that ewelina posted (thanks ewelina)

Ingredients:

Base:
300g cauliflower, grated
1 egg
50 g cheddar cheese, grated
Salt, pepper, oregano


Tomato sauce:
Small onion, chopped
1 tbsp. tomato puree
1 clove of garlic, crashed
Salt, black pepper, oregano
1 tsp. oil


Topping:
Whatever you like. I used few slices of courgettes, mushrooms, yellow pepper, onion, capers and grated cheese



Preparation:



1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line baking tray with parchment paper. I used a tart pan with removable bottom (23 diameter)
2. Grate the cauliflower on a large-holed side. Fry it for few minutes (approx.6) on non-stick pan. Cool the cauliflower a bit and add all remaining ingredients.
3. Spread evenly the mixture on the baking tray and bake for about 25 minutes until the crust is golden.
4. For the tomato sauce heat oil in a small pan. Sauté onion, garlic and oregano for few minutes. Stir in tomato puree and a little bit of water to get nice, thick sauce. Add salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Top the cauliflower base with sauce and topping. You can be creative here and use topping you like the most. I used vegetables and cheese only but cooked meat or salami would taste great as well.

Nice pizza, I think I will try to cook it because I wonder what is the taste of it but I really sure that it was very delicious.

If you like cauli, try a very thick cauliflower and cheese soup. You can get it so thick it is like mashed potato, though it doesn't taste like potato. Just slow cook it. 90 mins, 2 hours, add extra cauli to this recipe and I use emmentaler cheese, less broth, depends on how thick you want it, and less cream:
