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!

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.
