Best Spiced Lamb Pizza Recipes

SPICY LAMB PIZZA WITH PARSLEY-RED ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet on a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 500°F. Mix garlic, tomato paste, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and 3/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Mix in lamb.
• Working with 1 piece of dough and keeping remaining piece covered, gently stretch dough into a 10x8" oval and transfer to a lightly floured parchment-lined baking sheet. (If dough springs back, cover and let rest 10 minutes, then stretch again, resting as needed.) Crumble half of the lamb mixture over dough and brush edges with 1 Tbsp. oil. Slide onto preheated baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Transfer pizza to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough, lamb mixture, and 1 Tbsp. oil. Drizzle pizzas with more oil.
• Toss onion, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl; season with salt. Scatter over pizzas; sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

SPICED LAMB PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Mix onion, cilantro, and lemon juice together in a bowl; set aside. Dust a baking sheet with flour.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir lamb in the hot skillet until mostly cooked through, breaking into little pieces with the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 6 minutes.
• While the lamb is cooking, stretch dough out onto the prepared baking sheet until you get an oval shape. Let rest for 1 minute, and stretch it again if it shrinks.
• Bake dough in the center of the preheated oven until puffy and mostly cooked, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add tomato paste, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper flakes to the cooked lamb. Mix it all together and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove dough from the oven and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add lamb mixture and evenly distribute over the crust.
• Return pizza to the oven and bake for 2 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until crust is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• Remove pizza from the oven. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 8 pieces. Top with the onion-cilantro mixture.

LAMB PIZZA PIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Heat the oil in a large pan then fry the onion, mince and cinnamon over a high heat for 5 mins until the mince is browned. Take off the heat, season, then stir in the walnuts and mint.
• Prepare the pizza mix according to pack instructions, but ignore the rising stage. Divide into 4 and pat into small circles on a baking sheet. Spoon the mince mixture over one half of each circle, place 2 tomato slices on top, then fold the dough over. Press the edges to seal, slash the top 3 times then bake for 10-15 mins, until the dough is golden and cooked through. Serve with tzatziki and a green salad.
