Cauliflower Crust Pizza With Garlic Coconut Cream Sauce Recipes

CAULIFLOWER PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Place cauliflower pieces through the feeding tube of the food processor using the grating blade; pulse until all the cauliflower is shredded.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cooled, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
• Stir Italian cheese blend, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper into cauliflower until evenly incorporated. Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet; press and shape into a pizza crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA WITH GARLIC COCONUT CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees (400 if using a convection oven).
• Cut cauliflower into medium-small sized florets, and steam until fork tender.
• Blend cauliflower in food processor until it looks like rice or quinoa in size, then, in a kitchen towel, squeeze out excess water and place cauliflower into a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mix flax seed and warm water, and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
• Mix all crust ingredients into large bowl (with cauliflower) and mix with hands until just combined.
• On a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, spray parchment paper with non-stick spray (or use silicone baking sheet) and press out dough until around 1/2 inch thick, (with slightly thicker edges).
• Cook crust for around 45 minutes, or until just browned and fairly solid.
• While crust cooks, blend garlic, culinary coconut milk, 1 tablespoon oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in saucepan over medium heat, and cook until thick (or has reduced by about 1/2).
• Add sauce to crust, and top rest of mozzarella-style shreds and your favorite sliced vegetables (for example, 1 cup each (85 g) sliced Brussels sprouts, yellow squash, and red peppers).
• Place topped pizza back in oven for around 12 minutes or until toppings are just starting to crisp.
• Slice into squares or rectangular slices.
