Ingredients

Base

• 1 Head of Cauliflower (roughly chopped) 

• 100g Ground Almonds 

• 1 Egg (lightly beaten) 

• 1 tbsp Dried Oregano 

• ½ tsp Salt 

• ½ tsp Pepper 

Toppings

• ¾ Cup Tomato Paste 

• 2 tsp Pesto 

• 1 Zucchini (sliced) 

• 1 Cup of Mushrooms (sliced) 

• 1 Cup Capsicum (sliced)

• ½ Cup of Grated Cheese 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180 C.

2. Place chopped cauliflower in a food processor and blitz until rice consistency. Tip blitzed cauliflower in a bowl, cover with cling wrap and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes until soft.

3. Remove from the microwave and tip into a tea towel. Wring the tea towel and remove as much moisture and liquid as you can from the cauliflower, then transfer to a clean bowl. 

4. Stir in ground almonds, egg, oregano, salt and pepper and stir until combined.

5. Line a tray with baking paper and grease with butter or olive oil. Spoon mixture onto the tray and use your hands to spread out a 30cm round. Bake for 15-20 minutes until it starts to crisp. 

6. Remove from the oven and add tomato paste, pesto, zucchini, mushrooms, capsicum and cheese. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
