Vegetarian Rice Crust Pizza Recipe
As I was taking a stroll down memory lane, thinking about all the wonderful vegetarian recipes I've collected during my years of vegetarianism, I remembered a college enviro pot luck party I hosted. There was this really cool French dude named Michel who made homemade soaps and THE MOST AMAZING pizza!!! Get this...he used absolutely no wheat products!! The crust was made of RICE!!
Some of you may recall me mentioning in previous posts that J's nieces have nut allergies and one of them has celiac disease, which means she is allergic to wheat and gluten products. The girls have very serious allergies that they need to carry epi-pens with them at all times. Thank goodness Auntie Christine has never had to use those big ass needles! Yeeeeouch!
Anyway, the rice crust is gluten free and healthy. It is easily workable and with a nice taste. If desired, you can change the filling to a good old fashioned Italian Style filling.

cups long grain white rice or brown rice, uncooked

Wow that sounds awesome, I gotta try it!!!
Wow! I MUST try that recipe! Sounds very cool and different!
I tried your rice crust pizza recipe last night, Chrissy! It was a hit! Some of the other mommies on our street get together once every other week for a dinner hosted at one of our houses. It was my turn to host last night and everyone loved it! They thought it was so original! Thank you! I didn't make it vegetarian though. I did put some pepperoni and sausage on it.
