Ingredients
- ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ medium lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 (16 ounce) package pizza dough, at room temperature
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Mix onion, cilantro, and lemon juice together in a bowl; set aside. Dust a baking sheet with flour.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir lamb in the hot skillet until mostly cooked through, breaking into little pieces with the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 6 minutes.
- While the lamb is cooking, stretch dough out onto the prepared baking sheet until you get an oval shape. Let rest for 1 minute, and stretch it again if it shrinks.
- Bake dough in the center of the preheated oven until puffy and mostly cooked, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add tomato paste, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper flakes to the cooked lamb. Mix it all together and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove dough from the oven and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add lamb mixture and evenly distribute over the crust.
- Return pizza to the oven and bake for 2 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until crust is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Remove pizza from the oven. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 8 pieces. Top with the onion-cilantro mixture.
