Lahmacun known as Turkish pizza,is an Anatolian and Middle Eastern dish usually made up of a round, thin piece of dough topped with minced meat (most commonly beef and lamb). Lahmacun is often sprinkled with lemon juice, and then served rolled up with pickles or other vegetables, including tomatoes, peppers, and onions.
The Turkish cities of Sanliurfa (also known as Urfa) and Gaziantep (also known as Antep) are particularly famous for their lahmacun, also representing the two different Turkish styles of making it. The Urfa-style lahmacun has onion among its ingredients,while the Antep-style lahmacun has garlic instead.
Recipe / Ingredients
For 4 servings
* Flour
* 75g lamb meat
* Four thinly chopped onions
* One tomato
* One tablespoon of paprika sauce
* Ten leaves of parsley
* Salt, black pepper, capsicum
Preparation
Raw minced meat (should be minced by knife instead of machine to get a
better texture), extremely thin chopped onion, chopped tomato, paprika
sauce, chopped parsley, butter, salt, pepper and capsicum are mixed.
Salt, pepper and capsicum are added as the cooker wishes.
Risen bread dough is divided into hickory-nut sized pieces. They are
processed using an oklava, a tool to make dough thinner. Flour is
recommended to be used along with the oklava. After the dough is thin
enough, the previously mentioned mixture (salt, pepper, and capsicum)
is distributed over the dough. It should be cooked in a stone oven for
a richer taste.
