Hawaiian Pizza With Cauliflower Crust Recipes

HAWAIIAN PULLED PORK PIZZA WITH CAULIFLOWER CRUST

Steps:

• For the Hawaiian pulled pork: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Mix the onion powder, garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on all sides of the pork. Combine the pineapple, hoisin, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and 1 cup water in a Dutch oven. Add the pork and bake for 6 hours (alternatively, cook the pork in a slow cooker for 8 hours on low).
• Shred the pork with 2 forks, removing any large pieces of fat. Return to the Dutch oven and stir to incorporate with the sauce.
• For the cauliflower crust: Increase the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until fine. Steam in a steamer basket and drain well. (I like to put it on a towel to get all the moisture out.) Let cool.
• Combine the cauliflower with the mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Transfer to the center of the prepared baking sheet and spread into a circle, resembling a pizza crust. Bake until brown and crispy around the edges, about 20 minutes.
• Top the pizza with 1 1/2 cups pulled pork, the fresh pineapple and mozzarella and bake until warmed through and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.
• Garnish with pickled red onions and cilantro.
• Put the onions in a nonreactive heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the bay leaf, vinegar, sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a low boil and allow the sugar to dissolve. Pour over the onion and let stand about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and drain the onion, discarding the liquid.

Steps:

• Preheat oven: Place the oven rack in the upper-middle position and preheat the oven to 475°F.
• Bake the pizza: Bake until the cheese is melted and pizza edges are golden browned and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Serve: Garnish pizza with black pepper and oregano, and slice and serve immediately while hot. Leftovers will keep for about a week. To reheat, place on a foil-lined baking sheet and cook at 375°F until the cheese is melted and the crust is warm and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.

HAWAIIAN PIZZA WITH CAULIFLOWER CRUST

Steps:

• Make one cauliflower pizza crust.
• While pizza crust is baking, place bacon, Canadian bacon, pineapple, red pepper, and onion in a large frying pan. Fry in olive oil over medium-high heat for a few minutes, until ingredients begin to brown.
• When pizza crust is done baking, turn on the broiler. Top the pizza crust with cheese and sauteed toppings. Heat pizza in broiler for a minute or so, just long enough to melt the cheese and heat the toppings. Top with chopped chives and serve.
