Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb mince, eggs, bread crumbs, minced garlic, ground cumin, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a little olive oil.
- Spread the lamb mixture onto the baking sheet, flattening it into a round or rectangular pizza-like shape, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the lamb base is firm and slightly browned on the edges.
- While the base is baking, prepare the toppings. Halve the cherry tomatoes and wash the spinach leaves.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and tomato puree. Mix well.
- Remove the lamb base from the oven once it's cooked.
- Spread the olive oil and tomato puree mixture evenly over the lamb base.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Distribute the cherry tomato halves and fresh spinach leaves evenly over the cheese.
- Return the assembled meattza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tomatoes and spinach are slightly roasted.
- Remove the meattza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into pieces and serve warm.
Tips:
- Ensure that the lamb mince is mixed well with the spices and other ingredients to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Press the lamb mixture evenly in the baking dish to ensure it cooks uniformly.
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially for the spinach and cherry tomatoes, to enhance the overall taste of the dish.
- If you prefer a crispier base, consider baking the lamb mixture for a few minutes before adding the toppings.
- Feel free to customize the toppings to your preference or dietary needs; for instance, you can add sliced bell peppers, onions, or even some olives.
With its rich blend of spices, savory lamb, and fresh toppings, the Spiced Lamb 'Meattza' is a delightful dish that brings a twist to traditional pizza. It's a satisfying meal that will appeal to both meat lovers and those looking for a low-carb alternative.
