I've returned from drizzly Cornwall and was thankful for a dry, breezy day yesterday, as most of the camping gear is dry and ready to be put away. So yesterday involved trying out a new recipe that I had found in the Co-op's magazine a few months ago. It claims to be Turkish Pizza, but I wouldn't really call it Pizza. However, I would call it tasty!
The recipe was for four people, so I halved everything for smaller quantities. It isn't quite low-residue, but I'll add some substitutions to make it more so.
What you need:
1/2 pound minced lamb (for low-residue, use mince turkey, as it has less fat)
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic, minced (or use 1 tsp of garlic powder)
1/2 tsp of mixed spice
1/4 tsp of chili powder (leave out if it bothers you)
1 1/2 tbsp tomato puree
50ml of water
2 tortillas
Feta cheese cubes
1 tomato, chopped and de-seeded
1/2 tsp of parsley
1/2 tsp of dried mint.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Heat a frying pan and add oil, then lamb, and cook for 5 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove from pan and drain well on paper towel. Add garlic to pan, and fry for about a minute.
Then return the lamb to the pan. Add mixed spice, chili powder, tomato puree and water, then give it a good stir, and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
You want the meat to be fairly dry, so cook off as much of the water as you can without letting it dry out.
Put tortillas on a baking tray, and spread lamb over the tortillas.
Chop and de-seed the tomatoes.
Then spread those over the lamb.
Top with feta cheese, then sprinkle over parsley and mint.
Cook in the oven for 10 minutes until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melting.
In the words of George Takei - Ohhhhh Myyyyy!!!
It's really good. And thankfully I have leftovers, so I'm having it again tonight!

Can you tell it was a bit sunny in my kitchen? |
