🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 sheets ready-rolled pide dough (or thin pizza dough, 150g total)
✓ 200g lean lamb mince (5% fat)
✓ 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
✓ 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
✓ 1 tbsp caster sugar
✓ 1 tsp sea salt
✓ Olive oil spray (1 tsp for brushing)
✓ 1 tbsp sesame seeds

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Quick-Pickle the Onions: Slice red onion thinly and place in a small bowl. Pour over red wine vinegar, sprinkle with caster sugar and 0.5 tsp salt. Toss well and set aside for 15 minutes—this develops flavour and cuts the richness of the lamb.

2. Brown the Lean Lamb: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add lean lamb mince and cook for 5–6 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns. Drain any excess liquid on kitchen paper (lean mince releases minimal fat, but moisture matters for texture).

3. Build the Spice Blend: Add minced garlic to the cooked lamb and stir for 30 seconds. Sprinkle in sumac, Aleppo pepper, cumin, and coriander. Stir constantly for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat, fold in fresh parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. Prepare the Pide Sheets: If using chilled pide dough, let it rest at room temperature for 3 minutes to soften slightly. Pat each sheet dry with paper towel—this helps them crisp up. Preheat oven to 200°C (fan).

5. Fill and Roll: Lay one pide sheet flat. Spoon half the spiced lamb mince down the centre, leaving 2cm borders on all sides. Drain the pickled onions well and scatter half over the filling. Roll tightly from one long edge, tucking in the sides as you go. Place seam-side down on a lined baking tray. Repeat with second sheet.

6. Spray and Seed: Lightly mist each pide roll with olive oil spray (about 0.5 tsp per roll). Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top. This creates a golden, crispy crust without deep-frying or heavy butter.

7. Bake Until Golden: Bake for 22–25 minutes until the pide is golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges. The filling will be piping hot and the exterior should crackle slightly when touched.

8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and cool for 2 minutes. Serve whole or halved, with a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt on the side and remaining pickled onions scattered on top. Garnish with fresh chilli if desired.
