Recipe video above. Invented in pursuit of more interesting ways to use chicken mince, this is a SOS take on traditional manakish Lebanese pizzas made with flatbreads topped with a thin layer of meat - called lahmacun in Turkish. Astoundingly fast to make, and extremely versatile, think of this recipe as a blueprint rather than a rule book. Use any ground meat, add shredded vegetables - and topping options are endless! Don&#39;t skip the feta and olive oil for toppings. It really makes it. :)

8 minute Lebanese Pizzas (Lahmacun!)

x ~30cm/12" Lebanese bread (, (sub other thin flatbreads, Note 1))

/ 4 oz chicken mince ((ground chicken) (Note 2))

tomato paste

Baharat

tsp paprika (, sweet (or smoked))

salt

tbsp finely chopped parsley (or coriander/cilantro, totally

Extra virgin olive oil

tbsp Danish feta

Lemon juice (, just a light drizzle)

chilli flakes / red pepper flakes

~1 tbsp toasted pine nuts (, roughly chopped (sub pistachios, almonds, sesame seeds))

tsp finely chopped parsley (or coriander/cilantro)

Trim bread to fit pan, mix filling, smear on bread. Heat oil on high, pan fry 90 seconds meat side down, then bread side 90 seconds until crispy. Top, cut, eat!

ABBREVIATED RECIPE:

Use a large 30cm/12&quot; non-stick pan. If needed, use scissors to cut one side of the Lebanese bread so it fits in your pan (Note 4)

Mix the Chicken Spread ingredients in a bowl. Spread all across the surface of one side of the bread like peanut butter - use it all! It will be a fairly thin layer.

Cook meat side - Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan over high heat. Place the bread in meat side down and cook for 90 seconds, pressing down lightly to encourage colour. The meat will stick to the bread!

Crisp bread - Turn with tongs (there should be some golden patches) and cook the bread side for 90 seconds until golden and crispy (lower heat if browning too quickly).

Toppings - Slide onto cutting board, sprinkle with feta, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with other toppings you choose. Cut into 8 like pizza, enjoy!

FULL RECIPE:

A big 'yes' to the sheer practicality of this!  So easy and so tasty and you do not have to go shopping!  Have used Baharat for some seven decades of my life - yes, making one's own is the bestest :) !  Oh, nice one of the 'two of you' - another unforgettable Dozer one for my files !!!
