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
