From your kitchen:

- Sugar/Sweetener/Honey
- Butter (optional)
CARAMELISE & PREP
Preheat the oven to its maximum temperature. Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion for 7-9 minutes until soft and caramelised, shifting occasionally. At the halfway mark, add a sweetener of choice to caramelise it further. Remove from the pan on completion, cover, and set aside to keep warm. Place the kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and gently massage. Season and set aside.
GOLDEN BASE
Place a large roasting tray in the oven to heat up. Slide the pizza base onto the heated tray and par bake for 3-5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove the base from the oven.
TIME TO ASSEMBLE
Flip the base onto the other side, smear evenly with the tomato passata and sprinkle over the Italian rub to taste. Scatter over the massaged kale, caramelised onions, chopped pickled peppers and grated mozzarella cheese. Place back into the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden and the base is crispy.
PIZZA TIME!
Top the cooked pizza with the biltong slices, and rinsed green leaves. Well done, chef!
