Minced Lamb Tarte Flambée
The Minced Lamb Tarte Flambée is a sophisticated twist on a classic Alsatian dish, infusing robust flavors of spiced lamb into a traditionally simple flatbread. This interpretation captures the rustic charm of its origin while adding a rich, aromatic dimension.
Ingredients
For the Dough
1 cup all purpose flour (plain flour Australia and UK) - plus extra for dusting
¼ cup water - lukewarm
2 tbsp olive oil - extra virgin
½ tsp salt
For the Topping
250 grams ground lamb (minced lamb) - preferably organic
1 small red onion - finely sliced
1 clove garlic - minced
1 tsp cumin- ½ tsp coriander powder
½ tsp paprika- ¾ cup crème fraîche
1 tbsp parsley - fresh, chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil, and gently mix until a dough forms. Knead gently until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced lamb with garlic, cumin, coriander, and paprika until fragrant and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the crème fraîche evenly over the rolled dough, leaving a small border. Distribute the cooked lamb mixture evenly, followed by the sliced red onion.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute crème fraîche with Greek yogurt. For a vegetarian variation, replace lamb with sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
