Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 3 clove garlic
- 3 chili
- 2 tomato
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1 7/10 lb minced lamb and beef
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tortilla
Instructions
- 1Finely blend the onion, garlic, chilies, tomatoes, and parsley in a food processor until a smooth, slightly coarse purée forms.
- 2Transfer the vegetable purée to a large mixing bowl and add the minced lamb‑beef mixture.
- 3Stir in the tomato puree, pomegranate molasses, salt, pepper, and olive oil, mixing thoroughly with your hands until the meat and vegetables are evenly combined.
- 4Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- 5While the mixture rests, pre‑heat a large non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat (about 374°F/375°F).
- 6Place the tortilla in the hot skillet, spreading the meat mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a thin border around the edges.
- 7Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3–4 minutes, checking that the steam has evaporated and the meat is fully cooked through.
- 8Remove the lid and continue cooking uncovered for an additional 1 minute to crisp the bottom slightly.
- 9Transfer the cooked lahmacun to a cutting board, let it rest for 1 minute, then slice into 4 equal wedges.
- 10Serve immediately with hot sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon, and optionally garnish with extra chopped parsley.
