this dish was inspired by a recipe from a friend for caul,if lower crust (thanks Jamie!!!) and a Thai spiced turkey sausage I picked up at the St. Lawrence Market. this is heavy on the prep takes about two hours start to finish however it is yummy, healthy as well as dairy and yeast free!!!!
You could cut down the prep and cooking time by using turkey or chicken pepperoni and using pre-made sauce.
What You Need:
Crust:
1 head of cauliflower
1egg
Cilantro to taste (if making this for other flavor pizza use oregano)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup Daiya mozzarella
Sauce:
1 can tomatoes, puréed
1 can tomato paste
Cilantro, pepper, parsley to taste
Toppings:
Daiya mozzarella
Thai spiced turkey sausage
Green onion
Red pepper
Bok Choi
Pineapple
Thai spice to taste
How you make it:
Crust: rice one head of cauliflower in a food processor, spread it out in a lightly greased baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400 for about 1/2 hour. Let cool slightly then, press out all the moisture*. In a large mixing bowl, mix with egg, spices and Daiya Mozerella. On a pizza stone form it into a thins round pizza crust then bake at 400 for about 10 minutes. (One head of cauliflower made one large and one small pizza crust for me).
Sauce: in a medium sauce pan combine puréed tomatoes, tomato paste and spices. Simmer at low heat on stovetop until you are ready to use on pizza.
I cooked the sausage while I was roasting the cauliflower and simmering the sauce.
Once the crust has renamed for about 10 minutes add the toppings then bake in the oven again at 400 until the Daiya cheese has melted, the toppings are tender and the crust has browned.
* I didn't squeeze out enough water on my first try and the crust was soggy.
