Recipies and CT.... CAULIFLOWER PIZZA

Hello wine-os! I am writing to you today from lovely CT where I have taken the time to do a little wine cooking and exploring wineries as well I have a few things to report.

First off- NEW AND EXCITING RECIPES AND UPDATES! I was telling my family about my blog and since I didn't have much to do here and a lot of wine I decided trying out some new stuff and perfecting some old. So my first recipe which was a HUGE success goes out to my Paleo crowd! Cauliflower Pizza. Now I know gross sounding but you just need to trust me when I say it is amazing!!

Cauliflower Pizza

Non-stick spray
2 ½ cups grated cauliflower (about ½ a large head)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (Also 1 cup shredded parmesan)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tomato sauce reduced with Cab Franc
1/2 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half
2 cloves garlic, sliced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup olives 

1 cup avacado slices (optional)

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Grate the cauliflower using a box grater until you have 2 cups of cauliflower crumbles. Place in a large bowl and microwave for 7-8 minutes, or until soften. Remove and let cool. Mix in the egg, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Once combined, pat into a 10-inch round on the prepared pizza pan. Spray lightly with non-stick spray and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.

Top the pizza with the sauce, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, olives, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bake in the oven until melted and bubbly, another 10 minutes. Top with avocado before serving. Note: I think I over did it with the red pepper flakes and I don't like red pepper so if you are not a fan of spicy as well don't put it on.

So that was AMAZING and a huge hit I recommend it. Every one at the party was like I don't even like cauliflower but this is awesome!
