Roasted Cauliflower Bisque

Cauliflower is now being touted as the new Kale ~ for folks that haven't warmed up to the texture and flavor of kale, this is good news.  Cauliflower tends to take on the flavor of what it's paired with.  It's also extremely versatile; you can bake, broil, boil, steam, rice, saute, mix with just about anything or enjoy it raw.  I chose to prepare a simple bisque with the head of cauliflower I had in my refrigerator.  It's light and has a lovely mild flavor.  You could add cheese, veggies or a protein to add a little zip to this bisque. "The flavor of roasted cauliflower is wonderful!"

INGREDIENTS:
Pizza dough
2 tsp. olive oil
1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup shelled pistachios, crushed
4 Tbs. fresh thyme
1/2 cup pizza sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup parmigiano reggiano or mozzarella cheese, shredded


PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F

1.     Prepare your dough.  For a homemade dough recipe click here.  If you are using store bought dough, let the dough sit at room temperature for about 1 hour.  This will make the dough much easier to spread and hold a shape.

2.     Brush dough lightly with olive oil.

3.     Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough.

4.     Sprinkle the parmigiano reggiano or mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

5.     Sprinkle the crushed pistachios over the top of the cheese.

6.     Sprinkle the thyme over the pizza.

7.     Bake on a preheated pizza stone for 8-11 minutes until dough is golden brown.

8.     Let cool for 2-3 minutes before cutting for best results.

9.     Serve and enjoy!
