CHAPATI is a round flat unleavened bread of India that is usually made of
whole wheat flour and cooked on a griddle. AKA roti, rooti, rotee, rotli,
rotta, safati, shabaati, phulka, chapo, sada roti, poli, and roshi.

I like cauliflower any way it has ever been served to me. From plain ol'
boiled/steramed to tempura and beyod.

Title: No Complaint Mini Cauliflower Pizzas
Categories: Pizza, Sauces, Vegetables, Cheese, Herbs
Yield: 8 Pizzas
1/3 c Marinara sauce
1/2 c Shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 c Pepperoni minis
2 tb Chopped fresh basil leaves
MMMMM---------------------CAULIFLOWER CRUST--------------------------
1 Head cauliflower; chopped
1 lg Egg
1/3 c Shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tb Fresh grated Parmesan
1 ts Dried basil
1/2 ts Dried oregano
1/2 ts Garlic powder
1/4 ts Onion powder
Salt & fresh ground pepper
Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone
baking mat; set aside.
To make the cauliflower crust, add cauliflower to the
bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground,
yielding about 2-3 cups.*
Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and
place into microwave for 4-5 minutes, or until softened;
let cool.
Using a clean dish towel or cheese cloth, drain
cauliflower completely, removing as much water as
possible.
Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl. Stir in egg,
mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, oregano, garlic powder and
onion powder; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Using an ice cream scoop, spread cauliflower mixture
into a circle for each pizza and place onto the prepared
baking sheet. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and bake
for 10-12 minutes, or until golden.
Top each cauliflower round with marinara, mozzarella and
pepperoni minis. Place into oven and cook until the
cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with basil, if desired.
* A box grater can also be used.
