Cabbage Crust Pizza

12/25/2014

We love the Cauliflower Crust Pizza, but wanted to make a variation on it. We wanted to speed up the process and see if we could still get that great taste. And we did! At least, we did in our opinion. :)

Ingredient List:
Raw Cabbage or Coleslaw Mix (we bought it in a premixed bag already).
1 egg
Cheese (8oz or so)
Small can of sauce (or can of tomatoes, or fresh tomatoes (and we will blend it).
Onions/mushrooms (optional to add to sauce or as toppings).
Toppings - Anything and everything. We do different toppings every time. It just depends what we have.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Mix together some raw cabbage/cole slaw mix, 1 egg, and a small handful of cheese. You can add some spices such as oregano or basil if you have it, but it's not necessary.

Onion is not necessary, but we chopped up an onion, and put it in the sauce. Sauteed in Coconut oil (or butter) until it darkens and starts to caramelize.

Put tomato mixture in a blender

Here it is after blending

Lay flat in a lasagna pan. You can probably use another type of pan too, but this is what we used. Bake for 10-15 minutes. The goal is to harden the crust a little bit.

Add your can of tomatoes or fresh tomatoes. Let simmer for a few minutes. You can skip all of this and use a can of sauce. We have just found that its not too much work to make Great Sauce with no extra preservatives or ingredients we don't want.

Add your Sauce over the top of the crust. Then it is time to start adding the toppings.

Normally we wouldn't add sliced tomatoes, but these were left overs and perfectly good and delicious.

Mushrooms

Black Olives

Pepperoni

Sliced Serrano Peppers

Mozzarella Cheese

Bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes until cheese is at its desired meltiness.

Here is what ours looked like afterwards. Cut with a spatula and serve like lasagna.

Add Parmesan and red peppers if you like.

Enjoy!

Zucchini Lasagna (no carb)

We have made a few variations of this, but this is the last one that we made recently. Ingredients list can vary to your liking, But this is our latest recipe below.

Ingredients Needed:
Zucchini - Approx 4 if smaller ones, but only 1 if you're able to find the giant ones.
Fresh tomatoes, or approx 16 oz can of fresh tomatoes. (to make sauce).
Toppings of your choosing: We used Onion, (mixed in sauce), mushrooms, raw cabbage (cole slaw mix), can of french green beans.
1lb ground meat (beef, turkey, pork, chicken). We found pork on sale this time.
8oz of Mozzarella Cheese (or cheese of your choice)

Start by browning the meat in a pan. You may season the meat to your desire with a little salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, or spice that is desired. While that is browning, you can start slicing the zucchini.
Slice the Zucchini the long way as seen in pic below. I was able to use a cheese slicer to slice evenly.

Place one row of raw zucchini in the bottom of the pan as the base liner as seen above.

Optional: Use raw cabbage or other veggies to fill in any gaps. We used raw cabbage as it fills in easily.

Next we made our Red Sauce which I neglected to take any pictures of. But here are the steps:
Place raw tomatoes or canned tomatoes in a blender. We did not add any spices, but did add a few Arbol Chills to give it a little heat. Blended until it made a tomato sauce/paste, then added that directly to the meat when its almost done browning. Let it simmer for a little bit so all the flavors can blend together.

Add the layer of meat on next.

Add another layer of zucchini if you have it.

We Added our French Style Green Beans here, but you can add any veggies.

Add Cheese.

Place in the oven on 350 Degrees for 30-40 minutes. If you have no frozen ingredients 30 should be plenty. Let stand for a few minutes to cool and for the juices to thicken. Then serve and enjoy!
