Hummus and Grilled Vegetable Pizza with Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Serves: 1 pizza, for 2-3 people

Ingredients

• 2 c. cooked, riced cauliflower
• 4 egg whites
• 1.5 c. mozzarella cheese
• 2 tsp oregano
• 2 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 7oz. container of garlic roasted hummus
• 3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and Pepper
• 3 vegetables (Zucchini, Squash, Green Peppers...), sliced 1/4 inch think

Instructions

1. To rice the cauliflower: Buy a large head of cauliflower, wash it and pat dry. I used between 1/2 - 3/4 of it for 2 cups worth. Chop it into bite size pieces, and process in a rood processor until it is the size of rice.
2. Place in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 7 minutes to cook. 
3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 
4. Take a pizza pan or cookie sheet and spray it liberally with non-stick cooking spray. It will be difficult to get off the pan so use a lot of spray and expect to have some trouble. You can use parchment paper as well. We used a silicone baking mat in our toaster oven because we don't have the small baking pan for it. It worked really well and didn't stick but probably wasn't able to cook as well... 
5. In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg white, mozzarella, oregano and garlic. 
6. Press mixture evenly in the pan. Push it down into all the corners making sure its stuck to itself pretty well. It will not be a perfect circle, but who cares :)
7. Sprinkle with some parmesan cheese if you want some more flavor.
8. Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes. I recommend checking it at about the 12 minute mark and then allow it too cook for remaining time if needed. This crust is not like a typical BREAD crust… it sometimes won’t stay together as well and will require a fork and a spoon, but I also know that once you taste it, you just won’t care. At all.
9. While the crust is baking, scoop the garlic from the top of the hummus into a small bowl and stir in the 3/4 cup of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the garlic oil to a large bowl. Add the vegetables and toss to coat. Whisk the hummus into the remaining garlic oil and season with salt and pepper.
10. Working in 2 batches, grill the zucchini slices over high heat until they are lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Brush the zucchini lightly with some of the hummus and grill for 1 minute longer, turning once.
11. When the crust is done, remove the pan from the oven. Spread hummus over the crust and top with vegetables. 
12. Return to oven and bake for 10 minutes or until hummus is bubbling.
13. Enjoy! This requires a knife and fork fyi... it is definitely not "pick-up-able" pizza but it is certainly delicious and very healthy!
