Ingredients:

  • 1 cauliflower
  • 100g ground almonds
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon dried mixed herbs/oregano
Pizza with Cauliflower base

Method:

  1. Heat oven to 180°C
  2. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stalk end, then cut into chunks.
  3. Blitz half the cauliflower in a food processor until finely chopped, like rice. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the remaining half.
  4. Tip all the cauliflower in a bowl, cover with cling film and microwave on ‘high’ for 5-6 mins until softened.
  5. Tip onto a clean tea towel and leave to cool a little. 6. Once cool enough to handle, scrunch up the tea towel and squeeze as much liquid as you can out of the cauliflower, then transfer to a clean bowl.
  6. Stir in the ground almonds, egg, oregano and plenty of seasoning.
  7. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and grease with oil.
  8. Mound the cauliflower mix into the centre of the tray, then use a spoon and your hands to spread out into a 30cm round. Make it a little thicker at the edges to create a ‘crust’.
  9. Bake for 15-18 mins until golden brown and starting to crisp a little at the edges.
