Lahmacun, often called “Turkish pizza,” is one of Turkey’s most beloved and flavorful dishes. This thin, crispy flatbread is topped with a savory mixture of finely ground lamb or beef, blended with chopped tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. A fragrant medley of parsley, garlic, and red pepper flakes enhances its depth of flavor, while spices like cumin, paprika, and sumac add a warm, smoky kick.

Lahmacun is as exciting to eat as it is to make. Fresh out of the oven, it can be enjoyed flat or rolled up like a wrap for a quick, satisfying bite on the go. It’s traditionally served with fresh parsley, lemon wedges, and sometimes sliced tomatoes or onions for added freshness. For an extra burst of flavor, some enjoy it with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses or a dollop of creamy yogurt.
