LET’S COOK

How to make it

01

Knead a dough from the flour, water, yeast and salt for eight minutes and prove it an hour.

02

Blend the onion, pepper and tomato and press the purée through a sieve: the spare water is not wanted.

03

Mix the lamb with the vegetable purée, the pepper paste, chopped parsley, flakes and salt. It should be as thick as a pâté.

04

Heat the oven with a stone at full power for forty minutes.

05

Roll the balls of dough paper-thin, twenty-five centimetres across, and spread the topping thinly right to the edges.

06

Bake on the stone three or four minutes. The edges should colour and the middle stay soft: a lahmacun is rolled up to eat.
