Lachmagine Pizza

This simple yet flavorful meat mixture, made with lamb or beef, can be used on two full-size
pizzas, traditional minis, or even as a filling for puff pastry or empanadas. The prune purée
(tamarind paste can be used as well) is essential for this dish, and adds both a sweet and rich
element to the sauce. Sometimes, I drizzle the cooked pizza with honey or hot honey and brush it with oil before serving for added moisture and sweetness.

Easy Meat

Contains: Gluten, Wheat, Tree nuts

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, gently mix the lamb or beef, prune purée, onions, tomato paste, lemon juice, ketchup, sugar, cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper.

  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. On a greased baking sheet, press the pizza dough into your desired shape, until it’s about 1/8 inch thick.

  3. Spread the meat mixture all the way to the edge of the dough (it shrinks when it cooks, so you’ll end up with a crust).

  4. Bake 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are toasted and meat is cooked through. Top with pine nuts and pomegranate seeds. Garnish with mint or parsley (if using) and serve warm.
