  • 1 head of Cauliflower

  • 1 egg

  • 1/3 cup of creamy goat cheese

  • 1 tsp. Olive Oil

  • 1/4 cup of Raw Cheese- Parmesan is my favorite

  • 1/4 tsp. of pink salt

 

Cilantro Pesto Ingredients ::

  • 1 handful of fresh cilantro (about 1 cup)

  • 1 serrano or jalepeno pepper (add more for additional heat)

  • 1/3 cup of organic olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove

  • juice of 1/2 lime

  • Pulse 1 Head of Cauliflower in Blender/Food Processor/VitaMix until rice size- will yield approximately 3-4 cups.

  • Boil 1/2 cup of water in pot

  • Place cauliflower in boiling water, reduce heat and cover for approximately 5 minutes.

  • Place cauliflower in a thin kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess water.

  • Place in bowl and mix with 1 pasture egg and 1/3 cup of creamy goat cheese.

  • Roll onto parchment paper- as thin as you like and place in 400 oven until desired texture.  (I like mine very crunchy so I press it really thin and cook for approximately 45 minutes or more)

  • Bake again for 5-10 minutes

  • Serve with your favorite pesto, honey or dip.
