Cauliflower Base Pizza

I had heard of this several times and wanted to try it but never got round to it (or had any cauliflowers!). I also was a bit skeptical as to whether Little Miss' dad would even give it a go but when meal planning this week I decided to bite the bullet and go for it! 

I used this recipe from detoxinista for the base: http://detoxinista.com/2014/02/vegan-cauliflower-pizza-crust/ 

I forgot to order ground almonds so put some nutritional yeast in instead. I'm not sure that they had the same effect but the cheesy taste was yummy! 

We topped our pizza with tomato purée, roasted courgette and aubergine, kale, silken tofu, cherry tomatoes and finally some grated vegan cheese. 

I must admit that I didn't leave myself enough time to make the base to the letter. The cauliflower was still warm when I pressed it into the baking tray and I'm pretty sure I did not get enough water out of it be ause it didn't stay together as well as I would have liked. However, it was very delicious! Little Miss is still being ridiculously fussy with food due to teething (bread and fruit is almost all she'll eat at the moment) however she was spooning this up so quickly! Despite being very healthy it did not taste too different from regular pizza. The consistency of ours was definitely different but as I said before I didn't do it completely right.

This is such a great way to get lots of veg into your little ones and not at all difficult to make (and not too time consuming if you plan it well unlike me). I was amazed by how much I liked it so even if you are having reservations I definitely think you should try it; I'm sure you'll be surprised!

This is our very unprofessional looking pizza!:

Enjoy!
