Here are two Beef Omelette Pizzas in the oven. I made these pizzas during the summer while I had fresh tomatoes from the garden. Use home-canned hot peppers, salsa, or olives during the winter. Make two pizzas so you can enjoy the pizza as a snack cold.
This recipe is safe for someone on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. There will be enough sauce to make about four pizzas or you can use the sauce for another dish. Make the tomato sauce a day before making pizza so the flavor can improve.
Tomato Sauce
2 pounds frozen whole organic tomatoes
1T pastured lard, tallow or schmaltz
1T organic virgin olive oil
1tsp sea salt
1 small onion, chopped
1-2 cloves organic garlic, minced
2tsp organic thyme
1 organic bay leaf
If you have frozen tomatoes, let them thaw overnight on the counter and remove the extra water for a thicker sauce. Saute the onions and sea salt in the fat and olive oil until soft. Add the garlic, spices and tomatoes. Let simmer until sauce thickens. If you have time, let the sauce sit overnight in the fridge to improve the flavor.
Beef Filling
2-3T pastured lard, tallow or schmaltz
1T organic virgin olive oil
1-2tsp sea salt
1 large organic onion, chopped
1 pound pastured ground beef, crumbled
1-2T organic paprika
1-3 cloves organic garlic, minced
1 organic hot pepper, to taste (optional)
Melt the fat and olive oil together and saute the onions, crumbled beef and sea salt until browned. At the end of the cooking add the garlic and paprika. Make the beef filling just before making the pizza so it is still warm.
Toppings
1/2 pound raw organic cheese, grated
fresh organic tomatoes, sweet onions, hot peppers, etc
Omelette Base
1T pastured lard, tallow or schmaltz
1T organic virgin olive oil
7 pastured eggs, beaten well
This omelette base is for two 12″ pizzas. Heat up the fat and olive oil in two 12″ cast iron fry pans. Put half the fat and oil in each fry pan. Beat the eggs well in a bowl. When the fry pans are hot add half the beaten eggs to each fry pan. Reduce the heat and cover until the eggs are cooked through. Do not overcook.
Remove from heat and spread the tomato sauce on each omelette base. It is best to have your tomato sauce and filling warm when you put it on the omelette base. Top with cheese and any fresh vegetables you want. Put in a preheated oven at 300?F for 10-15 minutes. Do not overcook your raw cheese if you want the best results. Let the pizzas sit on the counter for a few minutes before serving. This pizza can be eaten as a delicious cold snack.
I prefer using cast iron fry pans to avoid the dangers of Teflon. If you are wondering why I love cast iron pans please read My Mother’s Dutch Oven.
