Pizza Time!

Do you ever crave pizza but deny yourself ? Well, you do not have to deny yourself anymore, you can now have a tasty pizza for a fraction of the calories.

I am a big fan of the Paleo diet, following it about 85% of the time. Paleo allows you eat anything that cavemen would have eaten, e.g. nuts, seeds, meat, vegetables, fruit, fish etc..
Grains, processed food, sugar, alcohol etc are forbidden. So you're thinking that must be very bland and boring, right? No, you would be amazed at what tasty recipes you can make with paleo friendly food. I have a cupboard of spices and herbs, and am always experimenting with different combinations of these!
Here is a recipe for a gorgeous base of a pizza, the main ingredient being cauliflower. Once made, you can top with your choice of toppings, e.g. tomatoes, meat, onions, mushrooms etc... Delicious !

Ingredients:

One small cauliflower
Two eggs
Coconut Flour / Almond Flour (about two tablespoons)
Teaspoon dried Basil
Teaspoon dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste.

Method:

Grate the cauliflower and pop into the microwave for 6 or 7 minutes until soft. (I use a normal hand held grater and it takes just two minutes to grate.) Once the cauliflower is soft, pour into a mixing bowl and add in the remaining ingredients. You can add in extra flour if you feel the need, it should resemble a soft dough. You can also use plain flour if you wish, I try to keep mine paleo friendly by using coconut flour. Once mixed, flatten onto a floured tray, and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees celsius until brown.     
Then, take it out, add your desired toppings, and pop into the oven for another 8 minutes or so.

I made one yesterday and just topped with tomatoe, tiny bit of cheese, and lots of kale!
