The Recipe

Servings: 6–8 slices | Total time: 1 hour | Difficulty: medium

Ingredients

For the crust:

• 800 g raw cauliflower, cleaned and cut into small florets
• 3 eggs
• 140 g coarsely grated cheese
• ½ bunch dill, finely chopped
• 1 large garlic clove, crushed
• Fine sea salt, to taste
• Butter or oil, to grease the baking tray

For the topping:

• 1 cup tomato sauce (made from 600 g peeled blended tomatoes, 3 garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp sugar, salt to taste, and 2 tbsp oil, or use store-bought)
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into thin rings
• 10 olives, sliced
• 3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
• 130 g grated cheese

Instructions

1. Process the cauliflower in a food processor or grate it finely. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, set aside, and drain if liquid is released.
2. Heat oil in a saucepan, add crushed garlic, cook for 10 seconds, add blended tomatoes, oregano, sugar, and salt. Simmer covered for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
3. Add chopped dill and grated cheese to the cauliflower. Whisk eggs with crushed garlic and a little salt in a separate bowl, then mix into the cauliflower mixture.
4. Line a 43 x 33 cm baking tray with baking paper and grease lightly. Spread the mixture evenly, press down to form a thin layer, and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 30 minutes until golden and cooked.
5. Remove from the oven, spread tomato sauce, arrange sliced eggs, olives, and bell pepper. Bake for 10 minutes.
6. Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake until melted and golden.
7. Serve warm, sliced.
