The Londoner’s Low Carb Pizza

I’m absolutely addicted to Rosie’s blog, The Londoner .

Basically it’s written by a babe’n young lady based in London who spends all her free time flitting across the globe, eating amazing food and drinking incredible drinks in uber trendy places – all the while managing to stay thin and gorgeous.

While some of her recipes make me wonder if she starves herself in her free time (she doesn’t, see here), her recent low carb pizza looked both healthy and insanely delicious, so I thought I would share.

Enjoy!

To make one pizza you’ll need:

1 small cauliflower

1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan

1/4 cup grated mozzarella

1tsp dried oregano

1 big clove crushed garlic

1 egg

Pinch of salt & pepper

Toppings:

Tomato pizza sauce (homemade or from a jar if you like)

About a cup of grated mozzarella

1 big pinch dried oregano

Any goodies you fancy! Spicy meatballs? Ham? Pineapple? Go wild.

Pre-heat your oven to 220C/430F and pop a large, flat baking tray in there to get hot too.

1. Grate your cauliflower until you’re left with ‘rice’ (about 2 or 3 cups).

2.Cover with a plate and put it into the microwave for four mins.

When it pings bring it out and tip onto a clean, dry tea-towel to cool down.

3.While it cools grate your cheese and put it in a large mixing bowl.

4. Really squeeze it all out! Throw it into the bowl with your cheeses. Add your oregano, garlic & egg.

5. Stir it all together. Lay a piece of grease-proof paper onto a chopping board and rub it with a bit of olive oil.

6. Squidge your ‘dough’ into a pizza shape on the paper.

Carefully remove your hot baking tray from the oven. Slide the paper and the base across onto the pan (carefully!) and put it back into the oven for about 10mins.

Pull it out when it looks all gloriously bronzed like this:

8.Smooth on your sauce, cheese, oregano & toppings (I went for prosciutto and sliced chillies.)

Pop the whole thing back into the oven for about 5 mins or until it’s all melted and bubbly.

I then threw on a few basil leaves.

Leave it to cool for a good 5mins and you’re ready to roll!

YUMMMM!!!!

And just a cheeky Rosie pic to top it all off 😉
