How to prepare a delicious and healthy pizza in 9 easy steps, by Kimi:

Step 1

Empty a double-sized tin (140g) of tomato paste into a small bowl.

Step 2

Add and mix enough water to make a suitable tomato sauce.

Step 3

Add a little peanut or sunflower oil (about 1 teaspoon ~ 1 tablespoon*). For authenticity you can use olive oil if you want.
Also add Italian/Provençal herbs to taste.
Mix the oil and herbs into the sauce.
* I added a little too much oil here.

Step 4

Two ready-made pizza bottoms.

Step 5

Spread half of the sauce onto one pizza bottom.

Step 6

About 90~100g of ground meat. Spread half of it evenly over the pizza, pressing it into the sauce layer.

Step 7

Cover the sauce and meat with as much mixed, ready-cut, frozen veggies as you can fit, pressing them lightly into the sauce/meat layer.

Step 8

Bake the pizza at 220°C for 10 minutes. Preheating is not necessary.

Step 9

Enjoy your pizza
Repeat steps 4-9 for the second pizza.

For variation, you can substitute different kinds of meat (small pieces of chicken, strips of pork), herbs/spices (Mexican or shoarma for example), and veggies (most supermarkets have at least two kinds of frozen veggie mixtures).

but... where's the cheese?!

[Kimiko]

Of course there's no cheese. That's the whole point of making it myself. If I wanted cheese, I could just buy a pizza in the supermarket.

Although those also wouldn't have the desired veggie/meat ratio.

Kimiko, I think you've got a great little system going. Kudos to you for making delicious pizza that you like!

My husband would love one, minus the meat.

My old roomate comes from a family that owns a bunch of pizza businesses (and worked in them for years, much like my history with doughnut/donut/fuckyou shops). I'm sure a part of him cried at that pizza, no offense.

[spoiler]It is a healthy alternative though. I'd say you can do a normal cheese spread (or, rather, probably half) to get used to it and cut that back until you're at 25%. Healthier food is sacrifices after all.

I'd add some seasoning spices to it, though really just basil and cilantro. It'll help accentuate the pizza sauce.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I could never do a pizza like that~~~

Though I'd also not use frozen veggies, if only for "might as well do it all right!" kind of thing. And whole wheat base. And without the veggies so I could actually care to eat it as I'm not a fan of salad-pizza ^^[/spoiler]
