CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA

Steps:

• For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor to a fine snowy powder (you should have about 2 1/2 cups). Transfer the processed cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover. Microwave until soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a clean, dry kitchen towel and allow to cool.
• When cool enough to handle, wrap the cauliflower in the towel and wring out as much moisture as possible, transferring to a second towel if necessary. In a large bowl, stir together the cauliflower, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, egg and 1 cup of the mozzarella until well combined. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and press into a 10-inch round. Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the crust from the oven and top with the Spicy Pizza Sauce and remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 10 minutes more. Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving.
• For the salad: Meanwhile, add the greens to a large bowl. Whisk together the olive oil, baslsamic and salt and pepper to taste in a measuring cup. Pour over the greens and toss. Top with Parmesan shavings.
• Heat a pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil, throw in the garlic and chopped onions and give them a stir. Cook until the onions are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, whisking to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the brown sugar, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste and stir. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Let cool, then puree the sauce.

• Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse them to a fine snowy powder; you should have 2 1/2 to 3 cups.

• When it's cool enough to handle, wrap the cauliflower tightly in the towel and wring out as much moisture as possible, twisting and squeezing like crazy. By the time you're done, you should have a pretty dry clump! And don't worry?it shouldn't look like much at this point.
• In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower and Parmesan And add the Italian seasoning, salt, egg, and 1 cup of the mozzarella. Stir/smush it together until well combined.
• Form it into a ball and place it on the baking sheet Then use your hands to flatten it into a large, flat round. Keep in mind that it won't move/rise like regular crust, so whatever shape it's in when you put it in the oven, that's the same shape/ size it'll be when you pull it out! (It's super easy to work with! You'll love it.)
• Bake the crust until it's golden, about 12 minutes. Top with the marinara and the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 10 minutes more.
• As soon as it comes out of the oven, sprinkle on some Parmesan. Then cut it into wedges. Sprinkle on basil leaves just before serving.
• Don't expect a crispy/chewy crust like regular pizza . . . but do expect an amazingly delicious dinner!
