1 lb lamb mince
450g
4 pita breads

1/3 cup tomato puree
72g
1 cup mozzarella cheese
100g
1 cup fresh parsley
60g
1/2 cup spearmint

1/3 cup feta cheese
72g
2 tbsp pine nuts

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Lamb Mixture:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped red onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the ground cumin and paprika, cooking for an additional minute until aromatic.
- Add the lamb mince, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Continue to cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Pita Breads:
- Place the pita breads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato puree evenly over each pita.
4. Assemble the Flatbreads:
- Divide the lamb mixture evenly among the four pita breads, spreading it across the top.
- Sprinkle each flatbread with shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake the Flatbreads:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the pita are crispy.
6. Prepare the Toppings:
- While the flatbreads are baking, combine the chopped parsley, spearmint, halved cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl. Toss to mix well.
7. Garnish the Flatbreads:
- Remove the flatbreads from the oven.
- Evenly distribute the parsley and mint mixture over the baked flatbreads.
- Top with crumbled feta cheese and toasted pine nuts.
8. Serve:
- Cut the flatbreads into slices or quarters and serve immediately while hot.

Tips:

- For extra crispiness, briefly toast pita breads in the oven before adding toppings.

- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of paprika and cumin.

- Feel free to substitute lamb mince with beef or chicken mince based on your preference.

- Garnish with additional fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil before serving for an extra touch of freshness.

- Consider serving with a side of Greek yogurt or tzatziki for a delicious contrast in flavor.
