Recipe video above. Invented in pursuit of more interesting ways to use chicken mince, this is a SOS take on traditional manakish Lebanese pizzas made with flatbreads topped with a thin layer of meat, commonly known by the Turkish name lahmacun. Astoundingly fast to make, and extremely versatile, think of this recipe as a blueprint rather than a rule book. Use any ground meat, add shredded vegetables - and topping options are endless! Don't skip the feta and olive oil for toppings. It really makes it. :)

Method

Heat the grill

Position an oven rack close to the heat source, then preheat the oven grill on high. Put a baking tray in the oven while it heats so the bread starts on a hot surface.

Mix the topping

In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, tomato paste, baharat spice mix, paprika, garlic, salt, parsley, and olive oil. Mix well until the mixture is evenly seasoned and easy to spread.

Assemble and grill

Take the Lebanese bread and place it on the hot tray. Spread the chicken mixture over the bread in a very thin layer, right to the edges, then grill for 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, the edges are crisp, and the top has a little colour.

Finish and serve

Top the hot pizzas with the Danish feta, then add the toasted pine nuts and a little more parsley if you want extra crunch and freshness. Slice and serve straight away.
