 No matzah meal needed for these tasty savoury snacks.

Method:

For the mini pizzas:

  • Wash the cauliflower and remove the leaves. Cut into florets.
  • Using a food processor, chop the cauliflower finely into couscous-sized ‘grains’.
  • Fry the grains in the olive oil over medium heat to dry the cauliflower out a little.
  • Tip them into bowl and add the egg, salt, pepper, ground almonds and parmesan cheese. Mix well.
  • Form mini pizzas with your hands of about 7cm diameter and lay them out on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment.
  • Cook at 180°C (fan) for 20 - 30 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool and transfer to a serving platter.
    To make the topping:
  • Heat your oven to 180°C fan. Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan and fry the onions until golden brown.
  • Add the sugar and continue cooking until caramelised.
  • Lay the mini tomatoes on an oven tray and roast for 25 minutes.
  • To serve: top each pizza with a teaspoon of the caramelised onions and cherry tomatoes. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with olive oil, season and sprinkle with oregano and parmesan.
