Cauliflower Crust Pizza

1 small to medium sized head of cauliflower, cut into florets.
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 egg
Desired amount of sauce, cheese and other toppings.

Place a pizza stone into the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.  On a cutting board, place a large piece of parchment paper brushed with a bit of olive oil.

Pulse the florets in a food processor until the cauliflower is finely ground and resembles couscous; you should end up with about 3 cups. Transfer the cauliflower to a bowl and microwave for 4 minutes. Remove and allow the cauliflower to cool a bit before pouring onto a tea towel or cheesecloth and wring out as much moisture as you can.

In a bowl, mix the cauliflower with the parmesan cheese, oregano and basil. Give it a taste and add salt if needed. Now add the egg and mix away. 

Press the cauliflower mixture into a circle on the oiled parchment paper. Using the cutting board, slide the parchment paper onto your hot pizza stone in the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven. Give it a minute to cool and flip the crust over.

Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees. Top the pizza with sauce, cheese and desired toppings. Slide parchment with topped pizza back in the hot oven and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the pizza golden.

Favorite Pistachio Pizza

2 Handfuls of sundried tomatoes, cut
Pizza dough (if making from scratch, add fresh tarragon leaves)
chopped pistachio (lots)
some balsamic vinegar
mascarpone cheese
mozzarella cheese
fresh basil leaves (also cut)
black pepper to taste

Cook pizza crust about half-way. Flip over, let cool, then spread mascarpone cheese on the bottom of the crust, spread cut sundried tomatoes, chopped pistachios, and then add mozzarella cheese on top. Put in oven, and then when you take it out, add fresh basil leaves, balsamic vinegar (very little) and if it seems dry at all, a little of the olive oil that the sundried tomato came in. Also add fresh black pepper.
