Spicy beef pizza recipe

Serves:

Ingredients

• 20ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 bunch coriander
• 1 tbsp ground coriander
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 600g beef mince
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup almond meal
• 1 lemon, rind grated
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 lebanese (pita) breads
• 250ml (1 cup) natural Greek yoghurt

For salad:

• 1/2 Spanish onion, finely sliced
• 20ml white wine vinegar (1 tbsp)
• 1/2 tsp salt, extra1 punnet grape tomatoes, halved
• 20ml olive oil, extra (1 tbsp)

Method

In a frypan, heat olive oil and add onions and garlic. Cook over gentle heat for 5-6 minutes until translucent. Finely chop coriander roots and stems, setting leaves aside. Add to onion mix. Add ground spices and stir for 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl and allow to cool.

Preheat oven to 240°C conventional or 220°C fan-forced. Line a tray with baking paper.

Combine cooled onion mixture with mince, egg, almond meal, lemon rind, salt and pepper. Place a quarter of the mixture on each pita bread and spread to edges, pressing flat with the back of a spoon. Bake for 8-10 minutes, checking meat has cooked through and bread is crispy. Repeat with other breads.

Meanwhile, combine sliced Spanish onion with vinegar and salt and leave for a couple of minutes. Just before serving, combine with tomatoes, olive oil and reserved coriander leaves.

Slice pizzas into quarters or eighths. Top with yoghurt and a big handful of onion salad. Serve with lemon wedges.
