Gluten-Free Pizza (The Ingredients Will Surprise You)

The Food Matters Team is loving this gluten-free pizza recipe at the moment.  The ingredients might surprise you!

PIZZA BASE

• florets from 1 cauliflower
• 3/4 cup almond meal
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 3 organic eggs, beaten

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Coarsely chop the cauliflower, place in food processor and blend until it is a fine rice-like texture.  Place in a mixing bowl. Add the almond meal, oregano and seasoning and mix with your hands. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Use your hands to pull the dry ingredients towards the middle until everything is combined and you can shape it into a ball.
3. Transfer to the baking paper and form into a pizza base by flattening the dough with your hands. Depending on preference, you could make 2 small bases or one large. We find the small bases work better and cook more evenly.
4. Pre-bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, prepare the super green basil pesto. Remove the crust from the oven. Cover it with pesto sauce, halved tomatoes & parmesan cheese and put it back in the oven for 5-10 more minutes. Take it out of the oven and top with fresh basil, arugula & a squeeze of lemon juice.

SUPER GREEN PESTO

• 1 cup activated nuts of your choice
• 1 bunch of basil
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 clove of garlic, crushed
• pinch of sea salt
• 1/4 cup good quality olive oil
• 1 tbsp Superfood Greens

Method

1. In a food processor, process your nuts until they are roughly chopped. Add basil, lemon juice, garlic and superfood greens. Pulse a few until blended well. Slowly add the 1/4 cup of olive oil while food processor is running.
2. Blend until creamy and pesto comes together, add a pinch of salt and pulse a few times.

We topped ours with this tasty green pesto, fresh tomatoes, and greens, but you can use any of your favorite pizza toppings!!
