Nutan Brown’s

WALL OF FAME ...helping you is what I do

I have had the good fortune to have Nutan Brown represent me both in the sale and purchase of our family homes. In 2014 Nutan handled the sale of our home on Elsfield Road. With her expert advice, professional recommendations, and outstanding sales performance our house sold on the offer date at an excellent price.

When it was time for us to look for a new property I gladly reached out to Nutan.

To say the least, the search for a new home in the Toronto area in 2016 had certainly become challenging. I was discouraged wondering if I would ever find the right space to call home. Nutan Brown was the shining light that gave me hope and who was with me every step of the way. Nutan was patient, diligent, resourceful and determined that we would find the perfect fit for my family. Over the course of a year, Nutan reviewed listings and arranged countless showings never giving up on our search. I was not the easiest client and despite two lost bidding wars, Nutan’s hard work and great negotiation skills led me to the perfect new home. A sincere and heart-felt Thank You, Nutan.

Sincerely,

Joanne Benvenuti SOLD in Sunnylea, Purchased in West Etobicoke

Buying or Selling a home is a very personal decision. It involves weeks, even months, working with your real estate representative, building a relationship based on trust, confidence and exceptional service.

Thank you for the Opportunity!

Cauliflower

PIZZACRUST with TOMATO, BASIL, SPINACH and SMOKED

ost of us have seen or eaten (or tried to make) cauliflower pizza crusts, mostly yielding unsuccessful results. They don’t taste great and definitely do not resemble pizza at all.

You can stop at this one! You will most likely fool the pizza lovers at your table. It even picks up like pizza! You can make this completely gluten-free if you swap the spelt flour for a gluten-free flour such as chickpea flour, gluten-free oat flour or an all-purpose gluten-free flour.

MAKES: 8 large pieces

INGREDIENTS FOR THE CRUST

• 1 small cauliflower, florets only, 4 finely riced level cups* • 1/2 cup (60gm) spelt flour (or any flour you like) • 1/2 cup (40gm) almond meal/flour • 1 egg, beaten • 1/2 tsp garlic powder • 1 tsp kosher salt • 1/2 cup (60-65gm) finely grated mozzarella cheese • 2 tbsp olive oil MY TOPPINGS

• About 1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella • About 12 cherry tomatoes, quartered • Big handful of spinach • 10 basil leaves torn

* TO 'RICE' THE CAULIFLOWER

Place the florets in the food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse the cauliflower many times until it resembles rice.

DIRECTIONS • Preheat oven to 500˚F and place the oven rack on the second from the lowest position. Heat a cast iron flat top sheet or a cookie sheet (lined with foil if you wish) in the oven as it preheats.

T

• Measure 4 cups of riced cauliflower* in a microwave safe bowl.

Microwave on high for 4 minutes, stopping halfway to toss.

When cool enough to handle, squeeze the liquid out of the cauliflower using paper towels. Allow the cauliflower to cool a little before adding the egg and cheese.

• Add the two flours, salt, garlic powder and stir well. Add the egg and cheese and work the dough with your hands so that it is all evenly distributed.

• Carefully remove the sheet from the oven, place it down on a heatproof surface. Brush the sheet with the olive oil. Spread the cauliflower mixture in a large oval, making a lip, like a “pizza crust edge.” I will spread it as much as I can with my hands (it is hot), then sometimes put a piece of parchment on top of the flattened cauliflower and using a rolling pin, roll over the parchment to make even thinner, then make a nice raised edge.

• Bake the crust without the toppings for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and sprinkle the crust (starting with the cheese) with all the toppings. Bake for another 8-10 minutes.

• Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, cut and enjoy! DELICIOUSDISH
