Lahmacun (Turkish Pizza) with Chopped Salad and Herb Tahini Sauce

I am sharing one of my most regretted non-eats with The Nosher today! Lahmacun AKA Turkish Pizza (or flat bread), however you want to perceive it.

Regretted only because I didn’t actually have lahmacun in Turkey. With so many bites and dishes in our trip, I’ve made it a routine to remake them at home.

 

 

I hope I have done the Turks proud, as this lahmacun recipe is modernized a bit. Traditionally, you see the locals wander the streets with lahmacun rolled up tightly in hand. Just as any quick street food would be easily accessible and eaten. A spicy meat mixture is pressed into the dough and toppings include thinly sliced raw onion, fresh herbs and a generous squeeze of lemon. To add contrast and texture, I added my favorite chopped salad and most recent addiction of herb tahini sauce, which I’ve been putting on absolutely everything! Seriously…make the sauce.
