Ingredients
- 500 g cauliflower
- 200 g feta
- 20 pitted black olives
- 2 large red pepper - from a jar
- 125 g roasted artichokes - from a jar
- 3 organic eggs
- small bunch of basil [28g / 1 oz]
- 3 Tbsp breadcrumbs - gluten free if needed
- 2 garlic cloves - crushed
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Boil some water in a large saucepan.
- Preheat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
- Grate the cauliflower with the coarse side of a cheese grater so it resembles rice.
- When the water is boiling, blanch the cauliflower rice for 2 mins. Drain well, squeezing to remove excess water. Set aside.
- Place the cauliflower rice in a bowl. Mix in the beaten eggs, garlic cloves, grated feta cheese, chopped olives, chopped red peppers, chopped artichokes, chopped basil and breadcrumbs. Mix until well blended.
- Season to taste with salt & pepper.
- Line a 23cm / 9 inch pie dish with baking sheet.
- Pour the cauliflower mixture on top. Spread evenly, pounding it down gently as much as possible (I use the flat side of a potato masher to make it dense and flat).
- Cook in the oven for 30 mins until golden.
- Serve cold with a salad on the side.
