Ingredients:Sauce
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 -3 cloves garlic
2 TBSP olive oil
oregano, basil, salt & pepper, red pepper flakes
Crust
1 cup of "riced" cauliflower
1/4 cup of ground almonds
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 TBSP shredded Parmesan cheese (you can use Asiago if you like)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp of each oregano, basil, salt & pepper.
Toppings
What ever you like on the top of a pizza, I used sliced black olives and saute mushrooms and cheese.
Drain tomatoes in a colander
Saute garlic in olive oil
Add tomatoes and spices, simmer
"Rice" the cauliflower by chopping finely with a knife or using a food processor. Cover with plastic wrap and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes.
Stir the cauliflower for it to cool a little, and add the ground almonds (grind whole almonds in a food processor and process until finely chopped), add cheeses, egg and spices. Mix well. Pat out mixture on a pizza stone and bake it in a 450 degree oven for 10-15 minutes (until crust is golden and bubbly) watch carefully so the edges do not burn. If you do not have a pizza stone, place a cast iron frying pan upside down in your cold oven and heat with the oven at 450 until pre-heated. Place pizza crust (on a cookie sheet or pizza pan) on top of the frying pan bottom.
While crust is baking, prepare your toppings.
When crust is ready, top and place in the oven on broil for 2 -3 min, until cheese is melted.
Enjoy, serves 2.
Note: I double the recipe when I make these, instead of small 2 person pizza, I make a larger 4 person, it works fine.
