Equipment

  • Food Processor or Blender

Ingredients
  

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

  • 1 Head of Cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • Dash of Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Ground Flax Seeds
  • 1 Large Egg

Optional Pizza Toppings

  • White Anchovies (Boquerones)
  • Power Greens
  • Arugula
  • Flat Italian Parsley - chopped
  • Shaved Parmesan
  • Figs Infused White Balsamic Vinegar
  • Balsamic Glaze

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to medium high.
  • Pre-fold four sheets of aluminum foil to approximately 6-8" wide. Spray with cooking oil.
  • Puree cauliflower in a food processor until finely ground. A good blender will also do the trick.
  • Cook ground cauliflower, water, and salt together in a skillet over medium-high heat until most of the water evaporates (5 to 6 minutes). Drain excess water of out pan. Should have about 1 1/2 cups cauliflower pulp.
  • Stir cauliflower, egg, salt, flax seeds, and pepper together in a bowl to form a soft dough.
  • Gather dough into a ball and place in the center of the prepared aluminum foil. Press dough into circle about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Place the crusts (with aluminum foil underneath) on a grill pan and put on the grill for about 20 minutes.
  • Check often as each grill is different and cook time will vary. The crust is done when it's golden brown and the moisture has left. Remove from grill.
  • Slide a metal spatula under crust to ensure the crust is not stuck to the aluminum foil. Cool and turn crust over before adding grilled peach salsa.
  • Place pizzas back on the grill for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove and add remaining optional ingredients.

Notes

* Check pizzas often so they don’t overcook.
