This recipe uses the beetroots’s sweetness and earthy, rich flavour instead of tomatoes.

Ingredients

200ml (¾ cup)

500g (3 cups) cubbed, cooked red beetroot
120ml (½ cup) white wine vinegar
240ml (1 cup) water
5 tbsp organic unrefined caster (superfine) sugar
1 bay leaf
2 shallots, finely chopped
Pinch sea salt, and cracked black pepper

Method

  1. Heat all the ingredients in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat and allow to simmer for around 10 minutes, or until the shallots are cooked and the liquid has slightly thickened.
  2. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly before removing the bay leaf. Then tip into a blender and blend until super-smooth. It should be bright pink and have that glossy ketchup look.
  3. Carefully pour into sterilised jars or containers and pop them in the fridge to cool.  
  4. Serve and use like ketchup for no longer than three weeks.

Healthier Pizza Dough

Apart from laziness and lack of ingredients, nothing should stop you from making your pizza. This recipe is taken from the excellent Bosh! Healthy Vegan book offers a healthier alternative than a classic dough recipe as it uses a 50/50 mix of white and wholemeal flour. The white flour gives you the texture and flavour of a traditional pizza base, but the wholemeal flour makes it higher in fibre with a lower GI index.
