Vegan Lahmacun/Turkish Pizza

Ingredients 

Flat Bread: 

  • 180g self-raising flour 
  • 120g plant-based yoghurt (I use alpro Greek) 

Vegan walnut and lentil mince 

  • 160g canned lentils 
  • 80g walnuts 
  • 2 tomatoes, cut into pieces 
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste/sun dried tomato paste or 1 tsp of harissa paste 
  • ½ tsp of ground paprika 
  • ½ tsp of ground cumin 
  • Pepper and salt 

Lahmacun: 

  • 1 roasted red pepper 
  • 1 large tomato 
  • 1 onion 
  • 2 garlic cloves 
  • A handful parsley 
  • ?Salt 
  • 1 tbsp sundried tomato or paste or another option is 1tsp of harissa paste 

Topping ideas: 

  • Sliced red onions 
  • Lemons 
  • Picked flat leaf parsley 
  • Tahini 
  • Yoghurt 
  • Tomato salad 

 

Method –  

Flat Bread: 

  • Mix your flour and yoghurt together until combined, then pop it out on to a lightly floured work surface and knead smooth, a few minutes should do.  
  • Now we can roll the dough into a large sausage shape and divide into 8 balls. 
  • Next, we will roll each one out adding flour to prevent sticking, we want them approximately 5mm thick 

Vegan walnut and lentil mince: 

  • Drain the lentils and rinse well. 
  • Put the lentils together with the walnuts, tomatoes and tomato paste in a food processor and pulse until you have a smooth mixture. Season with ground paprika, cumin, pepper and salt. 
  • Heat some olive oil in a pan and fry the “minced meat” for about 5 minutes until it is warm. 

Lahmacun: 

  • Add all your ingredients into a food processor and chop them up by pulsing the mixer until you have a small but chunky mix, check your flavours and seasoning and add more if desired. 
  • Now we can add our chunky lahmacun mixture in with our vegan walnut mince and stir together, we should have a nicely spiced earthy mince, we are now ready to assemble 

Combining: 

  • Pre heat your oven to 190C fan/ Gas mark 5 
  • On a lightly oiled baking sheet or lined with parchment paper lay out your rolled out flatbread 
  • And spoon over your lentil and walnut mix spreading it all over your bread. 
  • Pop into the preheated oven for 10 to 15 mins until the edges brown nicely. 
  • Once ready add toppings of sliced red onions, freshly squeezed lemon juice parsley and yogurt /tahini if you wish 
  • Now all that’s left is to fold, roll eat and enjoy
