Lahmacun is often topped with vegetables and rolled up.
Lahmacun (/ˌlɑːməˈdʒuːn/lah-mə-JOON; Turkish pronunciation:[lahma:'dʒun]ⓘ; Arabic: لحم بعجين, romanized: laḥm bi-ʿajīn, lit. 'meat with dough'),[2][3][4]Lahmajun,[2] or Lahmadjo (Armenian: լահմաջո),[5] is a Middle Eastern flatbread topped with minced meat (most commonly beef or lamb), minced vegetables, and herbs including onions, garlic, tomatoes, red peppers, and parsley, flavored with spices such as chili pepper and paprika, then baked.[6] Lahmacun is often wrapped around vegetables, including pickles, tomatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce, parsley, and roasted eggplant.[7][8][9][10]
Originating from the Levant region of the Arab world,[1] lahm bi ajeen or lahmacun is a popular dish in Lebanon and Syria.[4][11] In the Levant it is part of a series of food called Manakish, flatbreads with toppings. It is also sometimes referred to as "Lebanese Pizza."[12] It is also very popular in Armenia[13][5] and Turkey.[13] It is sometimes described as "Armenian pizza",[14] or "Turkish pizza",[15] or similar names due to its shape and superficial similarity. However, unlike pizza, lahmacun is not usually prepared with cheese[13] and the crust is thinner.[16] In Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine it is also known as "sfiha" (Arabic: صفيحة, romanized: ṣafīḥa, lit.'thin plate' or 'sheet').
