whole foods has had colorful cauliflower this spring--purple, orange, and green!--and it was just begging for me to try it. i love the roasted cauliflower at domenica here in nola but other than that the usually white vegetable doesn't end up in my shopping cart.
enter cauliflower pizza. i saw it on this blog that i read regularly and decided to try it! i found this recipe and sort of combined the two. i used parmesan instead of mozzarella cheese for the crust and it added more crunch and a great flavor. the first time i "riced" the cauliflower i think i used about 2/3 of a head of cauliflower (recipe called for 1/2). the second time i used the whole cauliflower head, it just depends on how big of a crust you want!
the first time i made it i just topped it with tomatoes, basil, and cheese and it was sooo good. however, since i want to eat pizza multiple times a week i made it again not too long after and adapted this recipe. i used goat cheese instead of ricotta and used a lot more roasted veggies, it was even better than my first cauliflower pizza attempt!
now, i won't say that #cauliflowerpizza is better than the real deal, but its a great alternative and was husband and baby approved!
