It's time for the last day of our vegetarian LCHF week and we had a vegetarian LCHF pizza. Popular among both big (adult) and small children in the family.

Recipe
Vegetarian pizza with coleslaw (lacto-ovo), 2 baking sheets (enough for two dinners for two adults and one child)
Coleslaw:
- ¾ green-cabbage head
- ¾ cup (1.5 dl) olive oil
- ⅕ cup (0.5 dl) white wine vinegar
- basil
- herbal salt and black pepper
Pizza dough:
- 8 eggs
- 3 ⅓ cups (8 dl) grated cheese
Tomato sauce:
- 1 ounce (30 g) butter
- ½ yellow onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 can crushed tomatoes
- ½ tablespoon oregano
- ½ tablespoon basil
- a dash of Worchestershire sauce
- salt and pepper
Start with the tomato sauce. Chop the onion and garlic finely and sauté in butter in a saucepan. Add tomato paste and let sizzle for a while. Add crushed tomatoes and herbs. Let boil, season with Worchestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Use a blender if you want a smoother sauce. Let simmer for a couple of minutes and let cool.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grate the cheese and whisk the eggs. Mix in a bowl. Distribute on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake in the middle of the oven until they start to turn golden brown. Remove and let cool.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add some salt. Use a cheese slicer or mandolin to cut thin slices of cabbage. Put the cabbage in a colander and pour the boiling water over it, and let drain. Mix oil, vinegar and basil for the vinaigrette, season with herbal salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix the cabbage into the vinaigrette.
Use the tomato sauce and a pinch of imagination to make the pizzas. We topped ours with more grated cheese, thinly sliced onion, sliced mushrooms, artichoke hearts, green olives, red peppers and mozzarella cheese.
Increase the oven heat to (225C) and bake until nicely browned and the cheese bubbles even in the center.
