You might not think of Turkey when you think of pizza, but lahmacun is a popular dish that literally means dough with meat. In our take on this traditional Turkish recipe, we use store-bought bases topped with a tasty, spiced minced meat mixture.

    1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Line 2 trays with baking paper and place the pizza bases on top. Spread bases with half of the tomato paste.

    2 Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and set over a medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 2 minutes, or until soft. Add paprika and chilli (if using) and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add mince and cook for 5 minutes, breaking up with a spoon, until browned. Add remaining tomato paste, half of the capsicum and half of the tomatoes to pan. Stir until heated through.

    3 Spread pizza bases with mince mixture. Top with the remaining capsicum, tomatoes and pine nuts. Place pizzas in oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Top pizzas with rocket and serve with the lemon wedges.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free pizza bases and check tomato paste and paprika are gluten free.

    Make it low FODMAP: Use gluten-free pizza bases, omit the red onion or swap for green spring onion leaves, and swap garlic for drizzle of garlic-infused oil.
