Hey Kim—
Since becoming “primal” I have had a pretty easy time dealing with the cravings (27 years of pasta is easier to ignore than I thought it would be!) but the one thing I can’t seem to shake is the desire for a good piece of pizza! So, when I find some free time I like to scour the various primal websites for new recipes to keep me living according to our true nature. I am a huge fan of Mark Sisson’s site and from there I found the personal blog of another primal (www.castlegrok.com) and for the most part his blog is... meh. However, he does have a few really tasty looking recipes on there, particularly one for meatza. Meatza, for those of us not in the know (I was one of them as well) is a pizza that uses a meat source for the crust—pretty crazy, I know! However, it sounded really good, so I went ahead and tried it and HOLY BURPEES was this sucker tasty! I’ve got some pics and the directions accompanying for anyone interested. Hope you enjoy!
Chicken Crust Pizza (aka Meatza)
Ingredients:
· 36 oz of raw chicken
· 3 eggs
· 1 Tbsp. of red palm oil (I didn’t have r.p.o. so I used Sesame oil and it was WONDERFUL-fabulous flavor/aroma)
· 2 Tbsp. of melted butter
· Various spices for crust/sauce
· 1 small can (I think they’re 5-6oz) tomato paste/small bit of water to loosen paste
· Cheese of choice (if you’re still eating dairy)
· Butter for greasing cookie sheet
· Cookie sheet for baking
Directions:
·
Take the raw chicken and slice into small pieces
(about 1” square) and place in to blender or food processor to puree. This was
much easier than I thought it’d be.
·
Place pureed chicken in mixing bowl. Add eggs,
spices (I used 2Tsp garlic salt, 1Tbsp ground pepper, 1Tbsp dried parsley) and
oil. I also added 2Tbsp of melted butter for a bit of added fat.
·
Prepare your cookie sheet by greasing generously
with fat of choice (I used butter) this is very important if you want your
slices to come off in one piece.
·
Place “dough” on sheet and spread out to desired
width/thickness (I had a solid 12” by a good ½ inch thick crust)
