Cauliflower grain
1. To ‘rice’ the
cauliflower take a large head of fresh cauliflower, remove the stems and
leaves, then chop into chunks.
2. Pulse in a food
processor until it looks like a grain. If you don’t have a food processor can
simply grate the whole head with a cheese grater.
3. Place the riced
cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes. No need to
add water as the natural moisture in the cauliflower is enough.

to 2200C.
2. In a medium
bowl, stir together the cauliflower, egg and mozzarella.
3. Add oregano,
crushed garlic and garlic salt, continue to stir.
4. Transfer to the
baking sheet and, using your hands, pat out into a 9 inch round (optional:
brush olive oil over top of mixture to help with browning.
5. Bake at 2500C
for 15 minutes.
6. Remove from the
oven.
7. Now that your
crust is baked add the sauce, your choice of toppings and cheese.

broiler at high heat until cheese is melted (Approximately 3-4 minutes).
