Ingredients
Base
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cauliflower, cut into chunks
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup grated mozzarella
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Sauce
- 1/2 tin chopped tomatoes
- splash of olive oil
- pinch each of salt, pepper, sugar and chilli flakes
Topping
- handful of spinach leaves
- 100 gram pepperoni or salami, to top
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 200oC. Line a pizza or oven tray with baking paper. Brush the baking paper liberally with oil.
- 2Cook the cauliflower in a small amount of water until it is par-cooked. Let the steam evaporate, then process in batches in a food processor until it resembles rice.
- 3In a bowl, combine the riced cauliflower with the egg, ¾ of the cup of mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheese, then mix well. Spoon on to the prepared tray and pat into a thin 25cm disc. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are brown and there’s the odd golden-brown patch on top. Once cooked to this stage, it can be cooled and frozen for later use.
- 4While the base cooks, make the sauce by simmering the ingredients in a saucepan for 15 minutes.
- 5Spoon the sauce over the base, then sprinkle over the remaining cheeses.
- 6Increase oven to 230oC. Bake the pizza for 10 minutes, then add the spinach and pepperoni, baking until the cheese is melted and the salami is sizzling – about another 5-7 minutes.
- 7Slice and eat!
