About Lahmajun

Lahmajun, often referred to as "Armenian pizza" or "Turkish pizza," is a flavorful flatbread dish popular in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. It consists of a thin, round dough topped with a spiced mixture of minced lamb or beef, tomatoes, onions, parsley, and a blend of regional spices like paprika and cumin. Traditionally baked in a wood-fired oven, Lahmajun offers a satisfying combination of crispy crust and savory toppings. Nutritionally, Lahmajun provides protein from the meat and vitamins from the fresh vegetables and herbs used in the topping. The flatbread base is a source of carbohydrates, which can offer energy. However, it can be relatively high in calories, sodium, and fat, especially if made with fattier cuts of meat or served in large portions. Pairing it with a fresh salad or moderate portions can help balance its nutritional profile for a healthier meal option.
