The ketogenic diet (or, for short, keto diet) is a low-carb, high-fat diet that offers many health benefits.
It involves a drastic reduction in the intake of carbohydrates and its replacement with fat. This lowering of carbohydrates places the body in a metabolic condition called ketosis. When this happens your body becomes incredibly energy-efficient in burning fat.

Topping
- 8 oz. cottage cheese
- 7 oz. shredded cheese
Filling

- 1 tbsp dried oregano or dried basil
- salt and pepper
- 4 tbsp tomato paste or ajvar relish
- ½ cup of water
How to Cook:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Add tomato paste. Add some water. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for at least 20 minutes. Make the dough for the crust while the meat simmers.
- In a food processor, combine all the crust ingredients for a few minutes, before the dough turns into a ball. If you don’t have a food processor, you can mix it with a fork by hand.
- Place a round piece of parchment paper in a well-greased springform or deep-dish pie pan with a diameter of 9-10 inches (23-25 cm) to make it easier to remove the pie when finished.

- Pre-bake the crust for 10-15 minutes. Remove meat from the oven, and put it in the crust. Combine cottage cheese and ground cheese, then sprinkle on top of the pastry.
- Bake on the lower rack for 30-40 minutes or until the pie has turned a golden color.
