About the Recipe

A much lighter and very tasty version of the conventional flour-based pizza.

Ingredients

  • For the base: 1 large cauliflower

  • 1¼ cups ground almonds

  • 2 eggs

  • For the sauce: any type of passata or mixed tomato spread

  • For the topping: 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 1 onion, roughly chopped

  • 1 large yellow pepper, thinly sliced

  • 3 baby sweetcorn

  • 5 sliced button mushrooms

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 150g cheese to your liking (or use avocado, tuna or flaked salmon as alternatives)

  • 1 handful basil, oregano and rocket leaves

Preparation

Step 1


Preheat the oven to 200°C.


Step 2


Place all the vegetables for the toppings on a baking tray. Coat with the olive oil, then put in the oven for 15–20 minutes.


Step 3


To make the pizza base, break the cauliflower into florets, then blitz in a food processor a few at a time to make a fine crumble. Tip each portion into a bowl until you have processed all the cauliflower.


Step 4


Add the ground almonds and eggs and mix by hand to form a dough.


Step 5


Place on a baking tray and form your desired pizza base shape. This quantity will make a large rectangle or 2 circles.


Step 6


Put the base in the oven and cook until golden brown, 25–30 minutes.


Step 7


Once your base is beautifully golden brown, remove it from the oven, spread on the sauce, add the grilled vegetables and crumble on the cheese. Place under the grill for 5–10 minutes.


Step 8


Add the herbs just before serving.


A tasty alternative for those avoiding wheat and gluten. The cauliflower base provides digestive support along with protein, a good amount of fibre, and vitamins C and K. Toppings are flexible — increase the variety of vegetables to your taste.
