Ingredients
Lamb Mince and Black Pepper Naan Pizza Ingredients
500 g ground lamb (minced lamb) - preferably organic
1 tablespoon olive oil - extra virgin
2 cloves garlic - finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly cracked
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon cilantro - ground
½ teaspoon salt- 4 pieces naan bread - store-bought
1 cup Mozzarella cheese - shredded
¼ cup Greek yogurt- 2 tablespoons cilantro (coriander) - fresh, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 220°C (430°F) and let it heat thoroughly.
- Prepare the lamb mixture: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned. Add lamb mince, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
- Season the lamb: Stir in black pepper, cumin, coriander, and salt, cooking for another 2 minutes until aromatic.
- Assemble the naan pizzas: Place naan breads on baking sheets. Evenly distribute the cooked lamb mixture across the naans, sprinkle shredded mozzarella atop each one.
- Bake: Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese melts and edges become crispy.
- Final touches: Once out of the oven, drizzle with Greek yogurt and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Notes
For a milder flavor, reduce the black pepper or try adding a sprinkle of feta cheese before baking for a different taste dimension.
