Quick lahmacun

Super-tasty, super-quick. The perfect weeknight supper.

  • ½ red pepper, roughly chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 small onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • Handful parsley stalks, roughly chopped
  • 400g lamb mince
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp pul biber
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 4 lavash (or other plain, thin) flatbreads
  1. Puree the red pepper, tomatoes, onion, garlic and parsley stalks and pour into a bowl
  2. Add the lamb mince and spices and mix well until completely combined
  3. Divide the lamb mixture into 4 and press firmly onto the surface of each flatbread with your fingertips, pushing the mixture into a thin layer that covers the surface of the bread, leaving a thin ‘crust’ ring around the outside – like a pizza
  4. Heat a large frying pan over medium/high and add a touch of oil, spreading it across the surface of the pan with a paper towel
  5. Fry the flatbreads face down until crisp and golden, then flip out onto a plate
  6. Serve topped with sliced tomato, parsley salad (parsley leaves, thin-sliced red onion, salt, sumac, lemon juice and olive oil) and plain yoghurt – roll up and eat with your hands
