fresh parsley

🥗Healthier: spinach

Roughly chop the vegetables before processing, ensuring not to over-process them.

Process the vegetables in a food processor, in batches if necessary, excluding the parsley.

Combine the chopped vegetables with the beef mince, spices, and pepper paste.

Prepare the dough by mixing the flour, water, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Allow the dough to rest before dividing it into smaller balls.

Roll out each dough ball into a flatbread shape.

Spread the meat and vegetable mixture evenly over the flatbread.

Cook the lahmacun in a preheated oven at 250°C (480°F) or on a low heat in a pan until cooked through.

Cover cooked lahmacuns with baking paper/towel to keep them soft.
