Vegan Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan forced).
  2. For cauliflower crust, remove the stems*. Cut up cauliflower florets and process in a food processor. Place riced cauliflower in a large bowl and add chia seeds.
  3. Very finely dice the tofu. Add to the cauliflower bowl. Combine cornflour, almond meal, salt, garlic and mixed herbs. Mix well to form 2 dough balls.
  4. Line a baking tray with baking paper and lightly spray with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with a little almond meal. Spread cauliflower dough ball on tray and press out to form a pizza shape. Bake the base for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove, flip over and bake a further 10 minutes.
  6. Remove pizza crust from oven and spread top with tomato paste. Scatter crust with the olives, artichokes, peppers, chick peas and sundried tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for a further 15 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and scatter some fresh basil leaves.

Tip: *Save your cauliflower stems and freeze them to use in soups, stews or vegetable stock.
