I’ve been wanting to make a cauliflower pizza crust for some time and have never gotten around to it. Part of the problem is that when I think of pizza, I tend to think of the bread / sauce / cheese version that’s typical.
Recently, though, Ediflora hasn’t been home a lot and was forced to eat out quite a bit. Being in Chicago, there are not a ton of veg-friendly options, but one place we did find and like was True Food Kitchen. They’re all about serving a diet of anti-inflammatory foods and they also have a lot of vegan options.
One of the things they serve that I can’t get enough of each time I go is their plain pizza just topped with sauce and arugula. I’ve been completely stuffed and the pizza comes and I think about boxing it up and I just eat it. The whole damn thing.
Having figured out that there’s a pizza combination that doesn’t involve cheese that I like, I determined that I could do the cauliflower pizza crust with some sauce and then just throw a bunch of arugula on top! Perfect! And by the way, who the hell came up with this combination in the first place?
I found a recipe online and then made it up as I went. Most are a variation on a theme, cauliflower rice, a binder, some seasoning and careful baking. Easy to do. Super tasty. Going to have to try this again sometime. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture of it, but find a recipe and give it a try. You’ll be glad you did.
