cauliflower crust pizza
I followed this: http://www.eat-drink-smile.com/2011/04/cauliflower-crust-pizza.html
With the whole "health kick"(that i'm not completely following), when i see something that is suppose to be healthy, or just different than the usual, it catches my eye. Seeing that the crust is made with cauliflower, it made me curious on how it'd taste, or just how it worked.
The crust is just made of "riced" cauliflower, cheese, and an egg. I did a little garlic salt for taste like the recipe said, but i didn't feel like adding the actual garlic and i couldn't find our oregano to add to it, so i skipped it. My mom doesn't like red sauce, so we went with just white sauce for the pizzas. Turned out that the size the recipe makes is like a personal pizza, but since we only had the one sauce, i went with white sauce. My mom's pizza had more toppings than mine, but i don't like too many topping.
Over all this was easy to make. I did get a little frustrated making it though. Not because of the recipe, but from that our kitchen was a mess because my brother was too lazy to start the dish washer after loading it and i didn't realize it could of been started until after i was getting frustrated with the mess.
For taste, eating it all together, you don't really feel like you are eating cauliflower. It's not bread like for texture though. I do think that if you eat just the crust without most of the toppings, it does have a cauliflower taste to it. It is thick enough that you can actually pick up the slices like pizza.
I wasn't super impressed, it was good, but maybe if it was red sauce instead. I'll eat white sauce, but i prefer red. My parents loved it though. Almost every bite my mom took she made a comment on how good she thought it was. My dad wasn't sure on it when i told him what the crust was, but after he tried a slice, he was pleasantly surprised that he liked it. He liked it more than it thought he would and my mom said she'd rank it as number 1 out of everything i've made. Since i live with my parents, my parents(and brother if he is willing to try it) are my taste testers....partly so that there's less left overs if i was just making the stuff for myself.
Lastly, this is the pizza my mom made. Well the crust is what i made, she did the toppings herself.
