This Syrian-inspired meat pizza is incredibly addictive and naturally lends itself to party appetizers or snacks. Traditionally made on mini rounds of dough, Jacqueline shapes them into hamantaschen to celebrate Purim. They also freeze beautifully, so making extra is always a good idea!
Serves 24
48 (2 12-ounce packages) mini pizza dough rounds
1/2 cup tamarind paste
2 tablespoons Glicks Ketchup
3 tablespoons Tuscanini Tomato Paste
1 to 2 grated onions (about 1/2 cup)
juice of 1 lemon or about 3 tablespoons Gefen Lemon Juice
1 tablespoons ground allspice
2 pounds chopped meat
1/2 cup pine nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Lay pizza rounds on Gefen Parchment lined baking sheets or cookie sheets.
Combine the tamarind paste, ketchup, tomato paste, grated onions, lemon juice and allspice to create a smooth sauce.
Mix sauce into ground meat.
Place a tablespoon of meat mixture over each dough rounds, spreading lightly, leaving a bit of room around the edges.
You can bake as is, or form into a triangle shape (as pictured) to create meat hamantaschen.
Place a few pine nuts over the meat.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until dough is lightly golden brown.
You can freeze them raw or baked.

What can I substitute for the tamarind paste? I cannot get it where I live?
If you don’t have tamarind paste, you can substitute it with a mix of lime or lemon juice and brown sugar. Balsamic vinegar or pomegranate molasses also work. Worcestershire sauce contains tamarind so you can use that as well, or for a quick fix, try ketchup with a bit of lime juice.
