Ingredients

  • 500g Strong white bread flour
  • 10g Fast action yeast
  • Sprinkling Corn Flour
  • 2 Tomato
  • 2 Green Chilli
  • 4 Chopped Spring Onions
  • Bunch Parsley
  • 250g Ground Beef
  • 2 tsp Chilli Flakes
  • Pinch Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Allspice
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Lemon
  • 1 Red Onions

Instructions

1
step 1 Sift the ground mix into a large container, make a well in the middle and strew in the fermenter.
2
transfer 125ml liquid over the fermenter, then flick ground mix over the liquid to create a layer.
3
seal and leave to rise in a toasty place for 15 mins until cracks appear on the surface of that layer.
4
step 2 Use your hands to toss together in 250ml more liquid along with 1 tsp seasoning and shape the flour base for about 10 mins until elastic and no longer sticky.
5
transfer in a little more ground mix if you need to.
6
seal and leave to rise again in a toasty place for 30 mins until doubled in size.
7
step 3 bring to temperature the oven to as high as it will go (about 240C/220C fan/gas 9) and strew one or two baking trays thinly with cornmeal.
8
step 4 transfer boiling liquid from the kettle over the tomatoes, leave to stand briefly, then sieve and slip off the skins.
9
Cut the tomatoes in half, cut out the stalks, scoop out the seeds and discard, then chop the flesh.
10
step 5 Halve the chillies lengthways, cut out the stalks, seeds and white inner membrane, then rinse.
11
Cut lengthwise into fine strips, then crosswise into fine dice.
12
step 6 Put the tomatoes, chillies, spring onions, finely minced parsley, beef mince, spices, 1 tsp seasoning and ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper into a container and toss together well.
13
step 7 Take the flour base and shape it briefly, then divide into four pieces and shape each into a ball.
14
Roll each ball into a thin circle, place on the prepared baking trays.
15
Spread with a thin layer of the protein mixture.
16
step 8 cook thoroughly each flatbread for 10-15 mins until the edges begin to darken.
17
After removing from the oven, strew the lahmacun with the roughly minced parsley and sliced shallot, then squeeze over a few drops of lemon nectar.
18
dish up straightaway.
