Cauliflower Crust Pizza

I found this recipe on the web and thought I have to give this a go, and I'm pleased I did it is so good!! and the best thing is the entire crust is only 434 calories! a single slice of pizza is around 400 calories alone. With this cauliflower version, one serving is just 109 calories and tastes as good as the dough pizzas mmmmmm

Serving Size:              
2- 4 people

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
• ½ teaspoon crushed garlic
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• olive oil (optional)
• pizza sauce, shredded cheese and choice of your toppings*
  

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 230*C. Spray baking paper with cooking spray/oil.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Add oregano, crushed garlic and garlic salt, stir. Transfer to the bake paper, and using your hands, pat out into a 9" round. Optional: Brush olive oil over top of mixture to help with browning.
3. Bake at 230 degrees C for 15 minutes.
4. Remove from oven.
5. To the crust, add sauce, *toppings and cheese. Place under a grill at high heat just until cheese is melted.

*Note: Toppings ie bacon, onion etc need to be precooked since you are only grilling for a few minutes.

To "rice" the Cauliflower: Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. Do not over-do pulse or you will puree it. (If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the whole head with a cheese grater). Place the riced cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes. There is no need to add water, as the natural moisture in the cauliflower is enough to cook itself. One large head should produce approximately 3 cups of riced cauliflower. The remainder can be used to make additional pizza crusts immediately, or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
