Instructions
Preheat oven to 200 C.
Add the ghee, minced shallot and garlic in a saucepan over a medium heat to start the pizza sauce. Cook until soft and golden 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce, fresh basil, oregano, and season to taste; lower heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes stirring every 3 to 4 minutes.
In a bowl, add the ground beef, red onion, garlic, egg, fresh basil, fresh parsley, dried oregano, and season to taste.
Mix everything until well combined.
Spread the meat mixture onto a 16-inch pizza pan and bake in the oven 10 minutes.
Spread the sauce evenly over the pizza, reserving any extra sauce for later use.
Top the pizza with our suggested toppings – or your favorites.
Place the pizza back in the oven, and bake another 10 to 12 minutes.
If the meatza looks like it needs a little more crisping up, set the oven to broil and cook another 4 to 5 minutes.
Let the meatza rest a couple of minutes, and top with fresh basil before serving.
