Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Remove the stalks from the cauliflower, break into large pieces and hand grate or blitz in a food processor.

Step 2

Add the cauliflower to a bowl, cover with clingfilm and pierce the film a couple of times. Cook in the microwave on high for 4-5 minutes. Allow to cool.

Step 3

Once completely cooled, place the cauliflower onto a clean tea towel and squeeze over the sink to remove the excess water.

Step 4

Meanwhile make the pizza topping. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion, red pepper and courgette for 4-5 minutes until starting to brown. Add the tomatoes, garlic and oregano and cook for another 2 minutes. Mix well and set aside.

Step 5

Add the cauliflower to a bowl with the egg and Parmesan. Mix well.

Step 6

Line a round baking tray or pizza sheet approximately 25cm in diameter with non-stick baking paper. Spread the cauliflower, to a thickness of ¾cm, onto it. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and top with the vegetables and mozzarella slices. Bake for a further 10 minutes. Serve sprinkled with the basil leaves and chilli flakes, if using.

Recipe tips

If you don't have a microwave, steam the cauliflower, in step 2, for 2 minutes.
Add some finely chopped fresh chilli to the vegetables, in step 4, to really spice it up.
With any pizza, if you cook the vegetables first then add them to the base you can get more onto your pizza.
