Lahm bi ajin (Lebanese meat pizza) recipe

Step 1

For the sumac onions, place all ingredi- ents in a bowl, season to taste and mix to combine. Set aside until ready to serve.

Step 2

To make the kafta mixture, place the capsicum, onion, parsley, seven spice and sumac in a food processor and pulse until the mixture starts to combine. Whiz on high speed, scraping down the side occasionally, until mixture is well combined. Transfer to a large bowl with the mince and mix until well combined. Season and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 240°C. Grease 6 large oven trays and line with baking paper.

Step 4

Divide kafta mixture into 6 portions. Working with 1 portion at a time, roughly spread kafta mixture over 1 piece of Lebanese bread, making sure you go all the way to the edge, and place on a prepared tray. Season and repeat with remaining kafta mixture and bread. Bake the first 2 trays for 3-5 minutes until the meat is cooked and bread is crisp. Repeat with remaining trays. Spread each pizza with a good amount of toum and top with tomato, sumac onions, parsley leaves and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Wrap it into a nice tight sandwich to serve.
