Ingredients
- Cauliflower - 300 grams (for crust)
- Egg - 1 large
- Grated Parmesan cheese - 50 grams
- Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
- Onion - 1 medium, thinly sliced
- Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
- Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
- Black olives - 50 grams, pitted and chopped
- Mixed seafood (shrimp, mussels, and squid) - 200 grams
- Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
- Salt - to taste
- Black pepper - to taste
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it resembles rice. Steam it for about 5 minutes until tender.
- Let the steamed cauliflower cool slightly, then mix it with the egg, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to form a dough.
- Press the cauliflower mixture into a greased round baking dish to form a crust, and bake for 15 minutes until golden.
- While the crust is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.
- In the same skillet, add the mixed seafood and cherry tomatoes, cooking for about 5 minutes until the seafood is just cooked through.
- Combine the seafood mixture with the caramelized onions and add the chopped olives and fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and spread the seafood mixture evenly on top.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
