Ingredients

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt, plus more
  • 12 oz. ground lamb
  • All-purpose flour (for dusting)
  • 8 oz. prepared pizza dough, cut in half, room temp

  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup parsley leaves with tender stems
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Place a baking sheet on a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 500. Mix garlic, tomato paste, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and 3/4 tsp salt in a large bowl. Mix in lamb.

  2. Working with 1 piece of dough and keeping remaining piece covered, gently stretch dough into a 10×8″ oval and transfer to a lightly floured parchment-lined baking sheet. Crumble half of the lamb mixture over dough and brush edges with 1 tbsp. oil. Slide onto preheated baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Transfer pizza to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough, lamb mixture, and 1 tbsp. oil. Drizzle pizzas with more oil.

  3. Toss onion, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl; season with salt. Scatter over pizzas; sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
