Instructions

• 1

  Put the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice. You should have 2½ cups.

  Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, until soft. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.

  Transfer the cauliflower rice to the center of a clean tea towel. Gather the edges of the tea towel, twist and squeeze out the excess liquid. Transfer to a bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined.

  To make the pizza, turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and PREHEAT the pizza oven for 15 minutes.
