1/8 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 cup Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese, grated/shredded

Cooking spray or a little cooking oil

 

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.

  2. Make “rice”: Rinse cauliflower, remove the outer leaves, separate into florets and chop into smaller pieces. Process in a food processor in 2 batches, until “rice” texture forms.

  3. Cook “rice”: Transfer cauliflower rice to prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 mins. Remove cooked cauliflower rice from the oven, transfer to a large bowl lined with a a clean kitchen towel, and let cool for 10-15 minutes or until safe to touch.

  4. Squeeze: Wrap cooked cauliflower inside the clean towel, then squeeze the liquid out.  Be patient and do this a few times until barely any liquid comes out. Muscle work is required!

  5. Make dough: Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. In a mixing bowl whisk the egg with dried herbs, salt and pepper for 10 seconds. Add cheese and cauliflower; mix very well until combined.

  6. Form crust: Line same baking sheet with new parchment paper or silicone mat (just make sure to scrape off any bits of cauliflower) and spray with cooking spray or coat with a little cooking oil. Transfer cauliflower pizza dough in the middle and flatten with your hands until thin pizza crust forms. 

  7. Bake crust first: Bake for 20 minutes, carefully flip with spatula and bake for a few more minutes.

  8. Bake pizza with toppings: Top cauliflower pizza base with your favourite toppings and bake again until cheese on top turns golden brown.

  9. Enjoy! 

Store: Refrigerate leftovers covered for up to 2 days.

Freeze: Bake, cool and wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before baking with toppings.

Seafood green onion pancake

 Seafood green onion pancake maangchi’s recipe Some tips when making these pancakes: • For a vegetarian version, skip the seafood and egg and use vegetable stock. • The batter should be runny, because thick batter will clump when you cook it and your pancake won’t turn out well. • While cooking, press down and poke the pancake to make some gaps in between the green onions. You should see some steam coming up through the gaps, that means the green onions are being cooked nicely. • This pancake is too heavy to toss up and flip, so don’t try it! You’ll need a big spatula to turn it over. • Be sure to make the dipping sauce, that’s the best way to enjoy it! Ingredients   Serves 2 • ½ cup all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon potato starch(corn starch) • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus a pinch of salt • a pinch of ground black pepper • ¾ cup stock (anchovy kelp stock, chicken stock or vegetable stock), or water • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil • 12 green onions, roots and tops trimmed to 8 to ...
