Eat Clean // Cauliflower Pizza


This is a recipe which I tried tonight and it was so good I had to share it with you all. It is such a yummy dish, healthy, clean and it really is just like pizza without the bloat! I used the base recipe from Madeleine Shaw but changed the topping to my liking and what I had in the fridge. A little warning... if like me you don't have a food processor it can get a little messy in the kitchen chopping up the cauliflower. But trust me, a little mess is worth it! 

Ingredients ~ makes 2 pizzas.

  • 1 cauliflower
  • 2 eggs
  • sea salt
  • 1 tbsp of oregano
  • 3 tbsp of flour
  • 1 can of tomatoes
  • 1 tsp of dried rosemary
  • 1 white onion
  • coconut oil
  • 1 courgette 
  • 1 pepper
  • a little cheese to your liking
  • 1 tsp of chilli flakes

Directions

  1. Set the oven to 180ºC.
  2. Take your cauliflower, cut off the green stalks. Cut it up roughly and pop it into the food processor and pulse it until it is finely pulsed.
  3. If you don’t have a food processor chop it up with a knife, be patient and prepare to get your kitchen messy!
  4. Once you have done this place the chopped cauliflower in a bowl with the eggs, a large pinch of salt, the oregano and flour. 
  5. Mix together to form a dough and split into two. 
  6. Spread 2 tsp of coconut oil onto baking trays.
  7. Place one half of the 'dough' on a baking tray and flatten out with a spoon until you form a circle just under 1cm high. Repeat with other half. 
  8. Place them both in the oven to cook for 20 mins.
  9. Make the topping by cutting the white onion up very small, sauté it is 1 tbsp of coconut oil with the rosemary on a medium heat with a pinch of sea salt for 5 minutes.
  10. Add in the can of tomatoes and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Cut up your courgette and pepper and sauté on medium heat for 10 minutes. By this time it will be time to take the base’s out.
  11. Evenly divide and pour the tomato mixture onto the bases, then follow with a little cheese or however much you like. Add the courgettes and peppers to the top. Sprinkle over the chilli flakes and cook both pizzas for another 5 minutes until the edges slightly crisp.
  12. Serve up and enjoy! 
You can thank me later :)
