OT: Lahmacun (Turkish Pizza)

Yep, I bet that got your attention.
Followed the recipe out of Gozney’s kitchen. I gringo-fied it a little bit, using nduja instead of lamb suet (hat tip to @caliking on that option). The dough is rolled out super thin for these. The dough balls are only about 95g:
Topped with the lahmacun. It’s a mix of ground lamb, tomatoes, onions, parsley, garlic, turkish red pepper, turkish pepper paste, and lots of other things:
Put on top of the dough and spread thin:
Thess things cook up fast. Maybe 90 seconds:
They get a squeeze of lemon and then topped with parsley and diced onions coated in salt and sumac:
Then you roll these bad boys, cut them in half and serve:
Damn these were good. Really different. You definitely get a Middle Eastern vibe from all the flavors, and the lamb isn’t overpowering at all. The heat hits you on the back end. They’ve got a kick to them, but it’s pretty mild.
Thanks for looking!

I’d love to try an authentic version. I got this as close as I could. Just couldn’t track down any minced lamb suet.lkapigian said:My favorite growing up on this!"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

Haven't heard of this before John, but it looks/sounds delicious!
One of the two best dishes I've had in my life was from a restaurant a block away from the US Embassy in Ankara (they didn't want us wandering too far, even though we and the Turks were much closer allies, back then). I wish I could remember the name of it; it was a toasted bottom half of some kind of bread loaf, and they assembled the rest of it at your table: a large ladle of melted butter onto the bread, a pile of shaved, perfectly-cooked lamb, and then a fantastic red sauce which may have had most of the same ingredients as your lahmacun, minus the lahmb.
Damn it was good! "Hallelujah, Noel, be it Heaven or Hell,

Excellent looking cool. Definitely off the beaten path and seems well executed - “seems” because I have not been exposed to this dish before and cannot therefore compare.Me thinks you’re giving @smokingal a run for her money. 🙂

John, that looks great. My wife is super proud Armenian. We get these pre-made and frozen often, and when reheated in the egg the crust crisps and it turns out great. With that being said, I bet yours fresh were fantastic. They are a staple at Christmas, “Little Christmas” (January 6th), Easter, and any evening that we need a a quick meal. Even 2 minutes in the microwave they are not bad for a super quick bite. Those we have now are beef. A layer of wax paper between each one and they are sacked meat side to meat side. They freeze really well.
Awesome that you did it from scratch.

Yup, Armenian Christmas on the Epiphony , Jan 6th...on that day the Wise Men found the Manger, one of the Wise Men being very tall struck his head quite hard on the Entry and exclaimed "Jesus Christ" at that moment Joseph looked at Mary and said " write that down, I like I better than Derek"......true storySea2Ski said:John, that looks great.
