Preparation of the Fake Vegetarian Cauliflower Pizza
There are various types of cauliflower
This is the typical purple of Sicily, also known as Bastardone
Choose a nice cauliflower, remove the outer leaves, and…
Cut it into florets.
Then wash it several times under running water, then drain it well.
Put it in a food processor and blend it, reducing it to crumbs.
If using the Bimby, do turbo 2 sec max speed 3 times
After blending it, spread it out on a pretty large pan,
and bake in a fan oven at 356°F for about 15 minutes.
After the time has passed, transfer it onto a dish towel and…
Squeeze it well, and be careful not to burn yourself.
Transfer the chopped mixture into a bowl and wait 5 minutes for it to cool before adding the eggs, otherwise they will coagulate.
As soon as the cauliflower has cooled down a bit, break the eggs, add them, season with salt and pepper to your taste, and…
Mix everything together.
On the pan, spread a sheet of parchment paper, lightly oiled, and pour the mixture, giving it a round shape, or any shape you like.
Smooth it out well with the back of a spoon.
Continue baking the pizza for 15 minutes at 356°F in a fan oven, and then..
Take it out and pour over the tomato sauce and season it as you like,
Add the provola cheese and bake for the last 4/5 minutes.
Serve hot.
