laham ajeen or Lhmag'on is a kind of Turkish pizza which combines airy pizza dough with a spiced meat mixture…..super-delicious! The combination is of course amazing. Lahmi bajin is originally made with lamb, but beef is just as good!

- Sprinkle a little flour over the dough, seal the bowl with a towel - and leave it to rise until it doubles in size.
Preparing the meat
- Finely chop the red pepper.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Chop the tomatoes - without the seeds.
- Chop the garlic cloves (don’t crush them).
- Put everything in a bowl with meat, spices, tomato paste and olive oil.
- Mix everything with your hands until all becomes unified.
- Seal with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough finishes rising.
Making the laham ajeen!
- The dough should be quite sticky – therefore you should flour up your hands and the work surface.
- Divide the dough and form 3 balls.
- Using a floured rolling pin, roll each ball long and wide - not thin (about half a cm thick).
- Place the filling on the dough (about half a cm in height) nicely thin out the dough - leaving a border of at least one centimeter all the way around.
- Spread olive oil on the sides.
- Put the bottom of the oven at 480F for 10 minutes.
- and it's ready!
- Serve with tahini or lemon wedges.
