If you love pizza but want to cut back on carbs, try baking it on a cauliflower crust! It will be just as golden and crispy on the edges, and the rich topping of artichokes, tomato sauce, and cheese will give it that authentic pizza flavor. Serve with a salad of mortadella (Bolognese sausage), fresh escarole, and pickled vegetables.

Ingredients:

• 2 frozen cauliflower pizza bases, 25cm in diameter (approximately 200g each)
• 1 tbsp + 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup grated semi-skimmed mozzarella (about 110 g)
• 1/4 tbsp. grated parmesan
• 0.5 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 cups of quartered artichoke hearts in water, pat dry and chop coarsely
• 1 small bunch escarole (inner green leaves only), coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
• 30 g thin slices of mortadella, chopped
• 1 canned roasted sweet pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup giardiniera, coarsely chopped, + 1 tbsp brine

Preparation:

Step 1
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Step 2
• Place each pizza crust on a baking sheet. Brush each with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crusts, using the back of a spoon to spread almost to the edges. Sprinkle with mozzarella, Parmesan, and oregano. Scatter the artichokes evenly over the pizza. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until crisp and the cheese is lightly browned, 12-15 minutes.
Step 3
• Meanwhile, combine the escarole, mortadella, roasted peppers, and giardiniera in a large bowl. Drizzle with the giardiniera brine and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with black pepper. Toss to combine.
Step 4
• Cut the pizza into quarters and arrange on plates. Serve with a salad.
