Ingredients

  • 1 savoy cabbage
  • 5-6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 roasted red pepper
  • 1 tin of tomatoes
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 150g vegan cheese (I use a mixture of plain vegan cheddar and smoked applewood cheddar, but use any you prefer)
  • 100g vegan Quorn Pepperoni
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Additionally: Fresh Basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6.
  2. This is where you want to chop your cabbage into thick slices (roughly 2cm thick). (If I were you, I would cut out the thick white chunky stalk at the very bottom as this part tends to be very bitter and crunchy!) You normally get 4-5 slices out of the cabbage. Place these carnage slices on a flat oven tray.
  3. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, 1 tsp of the dried basil, 1 tsp of the dried oregano and some salt and pepper and then drizzle this over the cabbage slices, making sure each one is coated well. (If you feel like you might need to add more olive oil then feel free to do so!). Place the oven tray into your warm oven to roast for roughly 10-15 minutes until the cabbage looks like it has softened slightly.
  4. In a small blender mix the roasted red pepper, tin of tomatoes, the remaining dried basil and dried oregano, smoked paprika and garlic together and season with salt and pepper if needed. The sauce should be relatively thick but smooth.
  5. Remove the cabbage slices out of the oven and cover each slice with roughly 4 tablespoons worth of the tomato sauce - each one should be smothered in sauce! Sprinkle over the grated vegan cheese and then layer over the slices of vegan pepperoni (giving approximately each slice 4 slices of pepperoni each).
  6. Place the cabbage pizza slices in the oven to cook for a further 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and melted and then leave to cool for a couple of minutes.
  7. Serve immediately, especially with some fresh basil leaves on top.
