SIBO Pizza With The Lot

When commencing your SIBO treatment, many favourites may be off-limits. This

SIBO-friendly pizza will become a regular fixture in your weekly meal plan. It is

extremely satisfying due to the meat base and tastes just like pizza should.

Ingredients:

• 400g/1lbs minced/ground beef

• 1 free range egg

• 1 tsp dried parsley

• 1 tsp dried basil

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp pepper

• ½ cup tomato passata/purée

• 2 tbs tomato paste, free from sugar and nitrates

• ½ red capsicum/pepper, diced

• ½ green capsicum/pepper, diced

• 6 slices prosciutto, free from sugar and nitrates

• ½ cup olives, in brine or olive oil (no balsamic vinegar)

• 6 anchovies

• Small handful of fresh basil

Instructions:

Pre-heat the oven to 230C/445F. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Place the beef, egg, parsley, basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are well combined. Roll into a large ball then place on the prepared baking tray. Using your hands, flatten the mixture across the tray until it covers it completely and is an even thickness.

Place the tray in the oven and cook for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the tomato passata/purée and tomato paste together.

Remove the base from the oven. If there is some liquid on the tray, pour it off before adding the toppings.

Spread the tomato mixture across the base, then top with the capsicum/pepper, olives, prosciutto and anchovies.

Return to the oven and cook for 10 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.

Remove from the oven, top with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately. If also cooking for a non-SIBOer, you can add some shaved parmesan cheese to their serve.
