Middle Eastern Style Pizza
This is a quick, easy, and delicious treat. Instead of using pizza dough, we use pita bread. It is also a very versatile recipe and you can easily create hundreds of varieties.
Ingredients:
- 3 large pita breads (or 6 small ones)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 4 scallions
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
First prepare the topping. Place the beef in a large bowl. Carefully wash the scallions and take off any soft parts from the ends. Chop of the root part off and toss it. Chop the scallions in thin slices. Add the scallions to your bowl. Open the can of diced tomatoes and separate the tomatoes from the tomato juice. Add the tomatoes to your bowl and reserve the tomato juice for another recipe (like pasta sauce). Liberally sprinkle salt and pepper on the beef mixture and mix well.
Place one pita bread on a cookie sheet, pretty side up. Place one tablespoon of olive oil on the pita bread and spread it all over the bread using a pastry brush or your fingers. Place one third of the beef mixture on the bread and spread it out evenly. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes. Repeat this procedure for the remaining pieces of pita bread.
