Ask a question about this step...great minds think alike! =) I'm sure there are lots of tasty ways that pizza and cauliflower can unite, I'd love to see what you come up with!
this sounds great! My daughter and I are just starting out with pizza making and this is right up our alley. Curious, though, and I remember seeing this on foodpickle and can't remember the answer - does this cauliflower remain this green after cooking? So pretty.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this one did stay green after cooking... I actually used this cauliflower in a different recipe, and use a regular ol' white one for the pizza. Pizza making is SO FUN! I'm seriously making pizza on a weekly basis....
YUM, this sounds delicious! I got a Romanesco in my CSA box earlier this year and sadly, not since - I was in awe of it when I opened my box.
Thank you! I seriously sat there and looked at that Romanesco forever... it's so cool! Thanks for that, nature!
Thanks! Yeah, I used white truffle oil (so good!).
I actually used a regular head of cauliflower for this, not the one in the pic... but I just got that crazy one in my CSA, so figured this was the perfect opportunity to post a picture of it!
Cool idea, I think our minds are on the same "PacNW wave" this week, I was thinking about pizza with cauliflower and here is your wonderful recipe!
