Main Ingredients- 1/8 head of cabbage (approx. 100g)
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1 pinch of fine salt
- 3-4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 sheet of rice paper (as pizza dough)
- 1 Tbsp tomato sauce
- 100g mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 ripe tomato
- A small handful of fresh arugula
- 1 scoop of thick Greek yogurt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the cabbage that will serve as the pizza base. Wash 1/8 head of cabbage (about 100g) thoroughly and shred it as thinly as possible. The thinner the shreds, the softer the texture will be.
Step 2
Next, let’s prepare the tomato for topping. Wash 1/2 ripe tomato well, and dice it into small cubes. You can remove the seeds if you prefer.
Step 3
Finally, prepare some fresh greens. If you’re using spinach or arugula, gently rinse the leaves and pat them completely dry. These will add a lovely fresh flavor to your pizza.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the cabbage mixture. In a large bowl, combine the thinly shredded cabbage with 2 cracked eggs. Add a pinch of salt for seasoning and mix well with chopsticks until everything is evenly combined to form a batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Prepare the pan for cooking. Pour about 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a frying pan and preheat it over medium-low heat. Be mindful of the heat; a pan that’s too hot can burn the base.
Step 6
Once the pan is preheated, carefully place 1 sheet of rice paper into it. This rice paper will act as our healthy, flourless pizza crust. Gently press it down to help it adhere to the pan.
Step 7
Spread the prepared cabbage mixture evenly over the rice paper. Continue cooking over medium-low heat for about 3 minutes. Once the bottom is golden brown and crispy, carefully flip the pizza using a spatula.
Step 8
Now it’s time to add the sauce. Spread 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce evenly over the cooked cabbage and rice paper base using the back of a spoon. Avoid spreading too much, as it can make the pizza too salty.
Step 9
On top of the tomato sauce, generously sprinkle 100g of mozzarella cheese for a rich, cheesy flavor. Don’t be shy with the cheese!
Step 10
Next, artfully arrange the diced tomatoes and fresh arugula over the cheese according to your preference. These fresh ingredients will add beautiful color and flavor.
Step 11
Now, let the pizza gently cook to melt the cheese. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cooking on low heat ensures the pizza cooks through without burning.
Step 12
With the lid on and heat on low, wait until the cheese is completely melted and all the ingredients are tender. Your delicious cabbage pizza will be ready soon!
Step 13
Carefully transfer the cooked pizza to a serving plate. Serve with 1 scoop of Greek yogurt on the side or on top for an extra special touch.
Step 14
Voila! Your ‘guilt-free’ magical cabbage pizza is complete. It’s a truly delicious and satisfying meal that you can enjoy without any worries. The ultimate ‘flavor bomb’ pizza!
Step 15
The accompanying Greek yogurt is low in sugar, great for gut health, and helps you feel full for longer. Plus, its unexpected pairing with pizza creates a delightful taste sensation.
Step 16
Combined with the fresh vegetables, it offers a refreshing, salad-like experience with a savory richness that makes it incredibly addictive.
Step 17
Since it contains no flour, it’s easy on the stomach and perfect for a light, healthy meal. Enjoy this delicious pizza without any guilt!
