LOW FAT CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA :)


Ingredients for 6 servings:
Base:
- 1 cauliflower (+- 750 gr)
- 250 grams low fat mozzarella cheese, grated
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 70 grams concentrated tomato paste
- Spices (for ex. fresh black pepper, oregano, basil or a Italian mix)

Topping:
- 140 grams concentrated tomato paste
- ½ onion
- 2 bell peppers
- 250 grams low fat mozzarella cheese, grated
- Spices (for ex. fresh black pepper, oregano, basil or a Italian mix)

Preparation:
At first, pre-heat oven to 200 °C then remove the stems and leaves from your cauliflower and chop the florets into chunks. Add to a food processor / blender and blend (until you get the texture similar to rice). Saute cauliflower in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes. (If you choose to boil it instead of saute you need to squeeze the water out when boiled) (You can use the microwave for this as well. Just place cauliflower in an uncovered microwave-safe bowl and cook for 8 minutes.)
After that, mix all ingredients for the base together and spread the mixture out evenly over baking paper (on a baking sheet), about 0.5 cm thick.
Bake it for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden, crispy on the edges and cooked through the middle. Remove the crust from the oven and let the crust cool down then top with concentrated tomato paste and topping (bell peppers, onions and spices).
Bake the pizza for another 15 minutes or until the toppings are hot and the cheese is melted.
