Spicy lamb flatbread pizzas

If your family is not keen on spice or “fancy things” in the meat mix, just take it out and stick to the onion, meat and tomato.

Ingredients

olive oil spray

1 red onion, halved, thinly sliced

1 red capsicum, halved, seeded, thinly sliced

300 gram lean lamb mince

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground paprika

1 teaspoon ground coriander

2 tablespoon currants

2 tablespoon chopped

fresh italian parsley

1/2 cup tomato puree

5 wholemeal small lebanese pita bread

1 bunch rocket, trimmed, shredded

1/2 cup low-fat natural yoghurt

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Heat 2 large baking trays in the oven for 10 minutes.

2.Meanwhile, heat a large, nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Spray with oil. Add the onion and capsicum, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes or until soft.

3.Increase the heat to high. Add the mince and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up any lumps, for 4 to 5 minutes or until the mince changes colour. Add the cumin, paprika and coriander, and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until aromatic. Stir in the currants and parsley.

4.Place the open pita breads on a baking tray and divide the pasta sauce and mince mixture among the pita breads. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the bases are crisp. Top with rocket and serve with the yoghurt.

We used pita bread like a pizza base and each one with about 4 dessertspoons of the mince, but there is enough for five!
