I had some grain loving friends coming round for dinner at short notice, so I wanted to make something that didn't look Paleo at first glance. Additionally, I needed to use ingredients I already had; Pizza seemed like a good choice because it appears to be a non-Paleo food! Of course, my pizza used almond meal instead of flour and good quality grass fed meat.

This was the first time I've tried a Paleo pizza. Next time, I'll probably experiment with the crust a little more, perhaps by adding coconut flour. Furthermore, I'm even wondering if I could make it on sliced eggplant and do away with a traditional base altogether.

It was very well received – as demonstrated by the lack of leftovers – and prompted lots of questions about paleo; Isn't it nice to make things like this that show how broad Paleo food can be – a delightful occasional treat.

  • Assemble the Pizza: Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the baked crust. Add the cooked meat and sautéed vegetables on top.

    I made this tonight substituting a couple toppings for things I already had on hand. AMA-ZING! My non-paleo boyfriend even loved it! I love the almond meal crust, I'll probably just start making that as an entree for dips and stuff by itself! My only regret is not making more for my lunch tomorrow 😀 thank you!!!

    This was a pizza base I made which we really liked – new to paleo so hopefully the ingredients are acceptable
    2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
    2 large organic eggs
    2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
    2 tablespoons coconut flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    Mix everything together. Line a baking tray with baking paper & press mixture on to tray – I made mine as thin as I could make it but you could make it as thick or thin as you like. Bake about 15 mins (or until golden brown) remove from oven. Have another tray ready with a sheet of baking paper. Place the second tray on top of cooked pizza base & turn so the uncooked side is now face up. Return to oven & bake the second side till golden. Once cooked, place topping of your choice & return to oven & cook. I actually put mine in a pizza oven to cook with topping. Hopefully that is not too confusing.
