Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or lamb
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/2 cup parsley finely chopped
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes drained
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 pound pizza dough or 6 large flour tortillas
- 1 lemon cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together ground meat, onion, bell pepper, parsley, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, mint, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Divide the dough into 6 balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin 10-inch disk. Place on the baking sheet, spread the meat mixture thinly over the top of each disk, leaving a small border around the edges of each lahmajun.
- Place the prepared lahmajun on the baking sheets and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the meat is cooked through.
- Serve hot, optionally with a squeeze of lemon for added zest.
