Turkish Style Pizza with Ground Beef (Lahmacun)
1 package Original Tortillas (Flat Bread, 10 pieces), or 5 pieces
of
Middle eastern style pita, separated
500 gr lean ground beef
2 medium onions
1 cup parsley
1 tbsp red pepper paste
2 large tomatoes, seeds discarded
1 tsp flaked peppers
1 garlic clove
1 tsp salt
Use a mixer to chop and mix all the ingredients except the ground
beef.
Then knead it with the ground beef. Refrigerate for an hour, then
leave
it outside for 20 minutes.
Set the oven to grill (broil). Have two oven trays ready. Take
some
mixture with the spatula and apply on the flat bread evenly as a
thin
layer. Place two per oven tray and put the trays on the second rack
from
the top in the oven. Bake for about 3-4 minutes, making sure not to
burn
the edges of the pitas.
Place a paper towel at the bottom of a large pot. Fold the cooked
Lahmacun in half and put them in the pot to keep them warm with the
lid
closed. When all are baked, serve with the Side Salad for Kebabs
and
Ayran while they're still warm.
Sumac comes from the berries of a wild bush which grows in the
Mediterranean. The berries are dried and crushed to form
purple-red
powder. The flavour is sour and fruity. It's mostly used with
Kebabs,
preferred to lemon for sourness.
