Today's recipe is a Low-carb Seafood Pizza, with mussels, prawns, cheese,
tomato and basil. The dough is the same one I`ve used
to make the tortillas for the Fajitas. It's a recipe by Yolanda for her blog "La
cocina de Can Jabalpan"
The link is on the information box under the video.
This pizza crust is very popular and you can find it on many blogs
about low-carb diets, like Paleo or Primal Diet. It's made out of
canned tuna in brine, which is
preserved in water, not oil. I am using a can of about 160 grams
( 5 to 6 oz) of canned tuna: squeeze excess water from the tuna and flake it.
Add 1 egg, or just 1 egg white (if you are watching your cholesterol)
We can also add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Cornstarch is an
tolerated item on the Dukan Diet and makes the dough
easier to work with. Finally, add a pinch of
sea salt.
Now combine all the ingredients, mixing them with your hands or
a tablespoon.
Cornstarch is gluten free and gives a better consistency to the dough, but it's
optional.
You can made this crust with just canned tuna, egg and salt
if you wish, ok?
Now, to shape the dough into a pizza crust, place it into a
parchment paper.
Use the back of a spoon to press it down, flattening the dough
into a circular shape.
You can also use the palms of your clean hands, pressing down
and pulling the dough.
My favourite way of
shaping the crust is to cover it with another parchment paper
and use
a rolling pin or a bottle to roll the dough from the middle outwards.
If you want to learn how to do it, click on the link to the video
of the Fajitas, ok? We need to bake this crust for some minutes
before we can add the toppings.
Carefully peel off the top piece of parchment paper,
slide an over rank beneath the bottom piece and bake at 200 C / 400 F
for 10 minutes.
Then peel off the crust from the parchment paper, (be carefull, it is
really hot. don't burn yourself) flip the crust, bake it for another 5 minutes
and it will be nice and crunchy.
Top the pizza with
3 tablespoons of sugar free tomato sauce or tomato paste,
season with garlic powder, onion powder
and oregano.
Add cheese,
this one is fat free cheese, cut into thin slices. I'm
using mussels canned in water
(without the water, of course!)
and some prawns. You can also add smoked salmon or trout,
crab meat sticks... If you can't find fat free grated cheese,
you can freeze a light cheese wedge, like this one.
This way
the cheese will be hard enough to grate.
It's better to grate the cheese right over
the pizza, because once grated,
this cheese will melt and become sticky.
This is a nice trick to make your own
low fat grated cheese, don't you think so?
Some fresh basil adds extra flavour
and aroma to the pizza.
Bake the pizza for another 5 minutes
and it's done. Enjoy!
