Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded organic cauliflower or eggplant can be used too

• 1 organic egg, beaten

• 1 tsp organic oregano

• 1 tsp crushed organic garlic

• 1/2 tsp organic garlic powder

• sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

• organic coconut oil 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees… Coat a cookie sheet with coconut oil.Take 1 large head of cauliflower, remove stems and leaves and chop the florets into chunks. Grate the cauliflower with a grater or chop in food processor. Place the diced cauliflower in a pot and steam for 5 – 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups cauliflower and egg. Add oregano, crushed garlic, garlic powder and sea salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Transfer to cookie sheet, and using your hands, pat out into a 9 inch round. Brush with olive oil to help it brown a bit. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.

Toppings:

To the crust you can add a sugar free organic tomato sauce.Then you can throw together all the organic veggies you can find ( zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, tomatoes, onion, spinach, olives etc) as toppings. You can also add some cooked organic chicken, shrimp, or extra lean ground beef to make it a complete meal. Place under a broiler just to warm it up a bit.

Note: Toppings and meat should be pre-cooked (optional for veggies) since you are only broiling for a few minutes.  

Enjoy,
