Kazakh style beef pizza

The traditions of Kazakh nomads come alive on this pizza. Boiled meat (be it beef or the more traditional horse meat) is the foundation of steppe cuisine. Here, we use a sour cream base instead of tomato, which better suits the character of the meat, while fresh coriander and red onion add freshness to this rich, filling dish.

Instructions

1

Dice the meat and boil in salted water until tender (or use cooked meat left over from soup). Drain and shred into strands.

Tip: The cooked meat retains juiciness between the fibres if not overbaked in the oven.
2

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Tip: Hot oven = crisp dough.
3

Mix the soured cream with salt and pepper, spread on the dough.

Tip: This 'white base' highlights the flavour of the boiled meat better than acidic tomato.
4

Distribute the boiled meat, thinly sliced red onion and grated carrot over the top.

Tip: The sweetness of the carrot goes well with the meat, and the onion caramelises during baking.
5

Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: The cheese protects the meat from drying out.
6

Sprinkle with fresh coriander when serving.

Tip: The fresh, citrusy flavour of coriander 'cuts through' the rich aftertaste.
