Lahn Majoun





This recipe is dedicated to all my lahn majoun fans. This way you can make it any time!!!

This is how i make them and i am not sure if it's the "original" way that's made but it's simply perfect!

Ingredient:
1kg lean beef minced meat
A bunch of fresh chopped onions
A bunch of parsley
3 green peppers
3-4 tomatoes
A pack of tomato juice
2 small tins of tomato paste
Drizzle olive oil
Some drops of tabasco ( to taste)
Crushed Garlic or shopped
Salt & pepper

OK, chopping all these stuff can be a hustle and takes up a lot of time so you can just put them in a blender all together and it's as easy as that. After doing all that you mix all the ingredients together and it's always good to let it marinade as long as you can. It's perfect if you leave it over night.

Now. You need to have some (about 20) pitta bread in order to spread the mixture on and cook it. So when it's cooking time, you have to prepare the pitta bread by splitting them up just like in the picute above. Then you spread a thin layer of the mixture with the back of a spoon onto the bitta bread and cook it under a hot grill for about 10 minutes.

The pictures I posted above should help you figure things out. The only thing is that you should spread the mixture just before you put them under the grill so they don't go soft and stick onto the rack while cooking them.

You could make your own dough to spread the mixture on but let's just get real, as if anyone has the time to do that. Serve hot. You can serve this with yogurt and lemon and cucumber as well. Makes about 40
