🛒 Ingredients

✓ 200g lean minced beef (93/7)
✓ 1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)
✓ 2 naan breads or Turkish flatbread rounds (120g total)
✓ 1 tsp sesame seeds
✓ Sea salt to taste
✓ Freshly cracked black pepper
✓ 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
✓ Light olive oil spray
✓ 1/2 medium onion, minced
✓ 1.5 tsp ground cumin
✓ 1 tsp Aleppo pepper (or paprika)
✓ 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
✓ 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
✓ 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (optional garnish)
✓ 2 cloves garlic, minced

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the filling base: Heat 0.75 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced onion and garlic; sauté 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Brown the spiced beef: Add lean minced beef, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until deeply browned. Drain any excess liquid if needed.

3. Build flavor layers: Sprinkle ground cumin and Aleppo pepper over the beef; stir constantly for 1 minute to bloom the spices. Add lemon juice and stir. Remove from heat and let cool 2 minutes.

4. Temper the yogurt base: In a small bowl, whisk Greek yogurt with pomegranate molasses until smooth. Fold this mixture into the cooled beef filling—do not overmix. The yogurt adds moisture without oil.

5. Assemble the lahmacun: Place one naan on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil spray. Spread half the beef filling evenly across the surface, leaving a 1 cm border. Repeat with second naan and remaining filling. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

6. Bake until crispy: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Bake lahmacun for 12–15 minutes until the edges are dark golden and slightly charred, and the top is crispy. Watch carefully—ovens vary.

7. Finish and serve: Remove from oven and scatter fresh parsley and pomegranate seeds over the top. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a dollop of extra Greek yogurt on the side if desired.
