Ingredients
Kara 340g Doughball
50g beef or lamb mince
1/2 white onion
2 tomatoes
1/4 green pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
50g feta cheese
Flat leaf parsley for garnish
Process
Blend the onion, two tomatoes, parsley, green pepper, spices, salt and pepper until a chunky consistency is formed.
Add the mince to the blender and blitz to make a chunky paste.
Roll out the pizza base to the desired thickness and prick with a fork to reduce rise.
Spread the meat paste onto the base (it makes a brilliant alternative to the traditional tomato!) then top with the remaining two tomatoes (cut into quarters) and crumbles of feta cheese.
Bake on a pizza stone for around 10 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with a side of raita.
Top tip: Cater for vegetarian diets by replacing the mince with tofu, tempeh or haricot beans.
Storage & handling
Kara’s Doughballs should be stored frozen at -18°C or below. Once defrosted, do not refreeze.
To defrost
Take the required amount of dough balls from the freezer and place 2″ (5cm) apart on a baking tray. To avoid the doughball skinning, cover with a lightly greased film and place in the refrigerator overnight.
Once defrosted, store in the fridge (5°C) and consume within two days.
