Flourless Pizza

I have seen in the past, cauliflower pizza crust.  Lately, it's been zucchini crust popping up on Pinterest. I thought I would try a combination of the two.

Recipe:  Cauliflower and Zucchini Pizza 

2 small zucchini
1/2 small head of cauliflower
1 egg
1 clove garlic, grated finely
salt & pepper

Some recipes call for mozzarella in the crust, which would probably work well to bind it together a little more.  So, if you were inclined, throw in a handful of grated mozzarella.

I first cooked the vegetables in boiling water for 3 - 4 minutes until softened.  Next, the veggies, garlic, salt & pepper went in the food processor and got pulsed enough times so that everything was uniformly chopped.  (Add the cheese, too, if you are going to use it).  Next, strain out any remaining liquid and incorporate the egg.

I cooked mine on the grill pan outside on the BBQ, turning once, then layering mozzarella, cooked small heirloom tomatoes, basil and grated parmesan.  They were small, so that they were easy to flip.  Not too bad for the first attempt...
