How To Make Greek-style Ground Lamb Pita Pizzas Recipe

These quick and easy-to-make pita pizzas are topped with a flavorful ground lamb mixture, feta cheese, and fresh herbs.

Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking: 20 minutes

Total: 30 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

4 whole wheat pitas
1 lb ground lamb
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tomato, diced
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a large skillet, brown the ground lamb over medium-high heat. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomato, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the tomato has broken down and the mixture has thickened.
Place the pitas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the lamb mixture evenly over each pita, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top the lamb mixture with the crumbled feta cheese.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the pita is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
