Lahmajoun (Armenian "Pizza") Shortcut

Step 1

To save time, process the onion, peppers, and parsley in a food processor, using the metal “S” blade. Squeeze out any excess liquid – this is VERY important! Be careful not to over-process. Vegetables should still be a bit chunky, not pureed.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine all of the topping ingredients, mixing well.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 400° – 425°F.

Step 4

Thinly spread about 3 Tbsp. of meat topping on the suface of each tortilla, spreading to the edge.

Step 5

Place 2 to 3 tortillas on each baking tray. They should not overlap each other.

Step 6

Bake on the lower rack for about 5 minutes, then on the upper rack, for another 5 minutes, or until the meat topping has browned, and the edges of the tortilla are golden.

Step 7

Continue this procedure until topping and/or tortillas are all used.

Step 8

Place thin slices of sweet onion and chopped parsley in the center of the lahmajoun, fold, and eat! A squeeze of lemon gives it a nice touch, too!

Step 9

After baking and cooling, stack lahmajouns, with plastic wrap in between each one. Place in plastic freezer bags & seal tightly.

Step 10

Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove frozen lahmajoun from the plastic wrap. Stack them in pairs on a baking sheet, meat sides facing each other. Heat for about 5-7 minutes. Turn once during reheating.
