Quick and easy lahmacun

Lahmacun are Turkish flatbreads topped with a with a saucy blend of lamb, tomatoes and spices. They’re similar to pides, known as Turkish pizzas, but the base is thinner. These lahmacun are a bit of a cheat – using ready-made flatbread and Harissa paste. Each can be cooked in just 8 minutes.

Ingredients

250 g minced lamb
2 ripe tomatoes
1 onion
1 handful of parsley
2 Tbsp Harissa paste or tomato purée
1 tsp ground cumin
Couple of pinches of cinnamon powder
2 Tbsp olive oil
4-6 flatbreads

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Heat a baking tray or pizza stone.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes and the parsley. Put these in a bowl and mix with the lamb, oil and Harissa. Keep back some of the parsley. Season to taste.
Put a flatbread on the hot baking tray and spread about 3-4 Tbsp of the mixture over it. Cook for about 8 minutes until the flatbread is golden and crispy. Then bake the other ones.
Serve with the remaining parsley scattered on top and some lemon juice squeezed over it – then fold in half.
