I first had a grilled lahmacun when Sam and I visited Turkey in 2013. We’ve both dreamed of them ever since. The best way that I can think to describe them is a Turkish pizza, but that’s doing lahmacun a huge injustice. It’s so much more than that!
This post is a collaboration with The Fry Family Food Co. You can get the vegan slicing sausage at your local Sainsburys.
Fry’s is also petitioning to add the vegan friendly term ‘barveque’ (BVQ) to the OED. You can have a read about the petition for yourself here.
Ingredients:
For the flatbread:
2 cups of white flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 tablespoon of yeast
1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 cup of warm water
For the toppings:
1 red pepper, diced finely
1 onion, diced finely
1 tomato, diced finely
2 garlic cloves, diced finely
small handful of fresh parsley, diced finely
Fry’s slicing sausage, chopped
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of tomato paste
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
For serving:
1 lemon
parsley
Directions:
Start by making your flat bread. Mix the flour and yeast together. Then add in the salt. Mix the oil in until distributed. Lastly add in your water splash by splash until the dough starts to come together.
Knead your dough for 3-5 minutes and then set it aside to rise for an hour.
Whilst your dough is rising, prepare your toppings. In a large pan, fry your slicing sausage for 1-2 minutes and then add in your pepper, garlic, tomatoes, onion, olive oil, and all of your spices. Saute until everything is soft but not browned, approximately 7-9 minutes. Then stir in your parsley. Set your toppings aside to cool and let the flavours come together whilst your dough continues to rise.
Once your dough has risen, knock it back and divide it into several smaller round balls. This recipe makes approximately 6 balls.
Roll or stretch each ball out into a flat bread shape.
Place your flatbreads on your heated bbq. Grill for approximate 5 minutes on each side. Turn them frequently to check that they aren’t burning. Remove them from the bbq when the dough is cooked through and the flatbreads are gently browned.
Spread a bit of topping onto each flatbread.
Place them on the grill and cook for about 5 further minutes (with the grill lid on).
Top them with more fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice and enjoy!
