You can prepare the keema entirely on the stovetop, as directed below. Or you can finish it in the oven: After
adding the water and spices, cover the pot and bake at 300◦F (150◦C) for 1 hour, checking occasionally to make
sure that the water has not evaporated.
This is great with a spinach salad, zucchini, or green beans. One of my favorite breakfasts is heating up the keema
until sizzling and scrambling eggs into it.
Note: One of the easiest ways I’ve found to crumble ground beef, pork, or sausages as they cook is to use a potato
masher. The ones that have a grid of small squares work the best, but any kind will do. I have a wooden potato

I love having cold pizza for breakfast. It reminds me of my former life when I used to sock away half a large pizza
in one sitting and eat the leftovers for breakfast.
You can use ground chicken, turkey, pork, or lamb for the crust instead of beef. For true decadence, make the
crust entirely out of Italian sausage.
Use the mushroom and pepper topping given here or whatever toppings are your favorites. Two of mine are
prosciutto with black olives and onion and Italian sausage with green olives and mushrooms. I used to love the
salty, hot, and sweet combination of anchovy, hot peppers, and pineapple, but there’s no good substitute for
pineapple. I don’t think strawberries would cut it!
